For those who follow recruiting closely, you might remember that Blaine Gabbert was the first 5* recruit to ever be signed by Missouri, and was hailed as their biggest recruiting snag ever up until recently. He had a few good years for the tigers, and then was way overdrafted in the 2011 draft. The jaguars, after trading two picks to get into position to take him at the #11 overall pick, just dealt him the the 49ers for a 6th round pick and a conditional pick in 2015. Drafting him may have proven to be the worst move any franchise has ever made in a draft, and is now one of the most costly.
In another viewpoint, I would say this guarantees without a shadow of a doubt what direction the Jags are now going to go in this years draft with the #2 pick. Now it's just a matter of which qb will they over draft this year. Will they keep Bortles in state, or will they go for the excitement factor of a Manziel. It will be interesting to see who they pick up. Here's the link
