Jacksonville Jaguars: Best Second-Day Draft Picks in Franchise History

 
Entering the 15th year of the franchise's existence, the Jacksonville Jaguars haven't always been very lucky when it comes to first-round draft picks. R. Jay Soward, Reggie Williams, Matt Jones, Byron Leftwich, etc. All these guys were taken in the first round. None of them lived up to the expectations, and none of them are with the team anymore. The thing that has been Jacksonville's saving grace is the ability to get quality players in the later rounds. With that in mind, I have selected the best second-day draft picks in Jacksonville's short history. For the sake of this slideshow, we're going old school. So when I refer to the best second-day draft picks, I mean anyone who was taken in the fourth round or later. (link)
