The Jacksonville Jaguars’ disaster in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft was three-fold. For one, they sent the Washington Redskins a second round pick to move up just six spots, from #16 overall to #10 overall, which looks like an overpay in hindsight. Regardless, with that pick, they selected quarterback Blaine Gabbert, who turned out to be a spectacular bust for the Jaguars, as he simply wasn’t ready to play in the NFL.
