Jaguars have little to show for run

The Jacksonville Jaguars have been a mainstay near Mike Smith Jerseythe top of the NFL Draft for nearly a decade. And they have little to show for it. The perpetually rebuilding Jags are poised to pick in the top 10 for the ninth consecutive year next month and in the top five for the fifth straight year. It's the kind of draft run that should - at the very least - have the small-market franchise vying for http://www.officialcoyotesproshop.com/Womens_Youth_Mikkel_Boedker_Jerseypostseason berths. Instead, Jacksonville has won just 19 of 80 games (23.7 percent) over the last five seasons, finishing no higher than third in the mediocre AFC South. So what happened? It's been a combination of poor picks and bad luck spanning two owners, three general managers and three head coaches. Injury, suspension and performance have all been factors. From one Florida defensive http://www.officialcoyotesproshop.com/Womens_Youth_Nicklas_Grossmann_Jerseystandout to another, here's a look at what went wrong with Jacksonville's top selections: -Defensive end Dante Fowler Jr., the third choice in 2015: After quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota went first and second, respectively, the Jaguars had their pick of position players. They took Fowler, a 260-pound pass-rusher who was one of the most disruptive defensive linemen in the Southeastern Conference in 2014. But Fowler tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee on the first day Paul Stastny Jerseyof a minicamp and missed his entire rookie season. He made headlines again in February after a video surfaced that showed him refereeing a fight between his girlfriend and the mother of his child. The NFL said the video included ''disturbing images'' and vowed to review the matter. Nonetheless, the Jaguars expect http://www.officialbluesteamshop.com/Womens_Youth_Robert_Bortuzzo_Jerseybig things from Fowler in 2016. After parting ways with Chris Clemons and Andre Branch and failing to land Olivier Vernon and Robert Ayers in free agency, Fowler is one of the few pass-rushing ends remaining on the roster. -Quarterback Blake Bortles, the third pick in 2014: By far, the best of Jacksonville's recent draft choices. Bortles set franchise records for yards (4,428) and touchdowns (35) in 2015, joining Dan Marino (1984) as the only first- or second-year quarterback in NFL history to throw for more than 4,400 yards and 35 touchdowns in a season. -Left tackle Luke Joeckel, the second selection in 2013: The first pick in general manager Dave Caldwell's tenure, Joeckel has fallen well short of expectations. He gave up five sacks in the 2015 season finale, clearly causing some concern inside the facility. The Jaguars responded by signing former Pittsburgh Steelers left tackle Kelvin Beachum to a five-year contract worth up to $45 million in free agency to compete with Joeckel.
