The Jags 2008 draft might take the cake
If someone can find a worse draft than the Jaguars 2008 draft in the history of the modern draft, please send it to me. Profootballtalk.com called the Jaguars 2008 draft a “Coach Killer,” which is true, but it also came on the heels of giving David Garrard his contract extension. This team thought it was a few pieces away after getting knocked out of the playoffs by the undefeated New England Patriots and took a swing at the fences.
Not only did the Jaguars have one of the worst drafts in NFL history, but you have to remember the free agents they signed as well. The Jaguars gave big money to cornerback Drayton Florence and wide receiver Jerry Porter, both of which were cut the very next season after little to no contribution to the football team. Porter signed a 6-year, $30 million contract with $10 million in guaranteed money, while Florence signed a 6-year $36 million deal with roughly $12 million in guaranteed money.
