The Jacksonville Jaguars had a successful — albeit expensive — day in free agency yesterday. They saw the departures of several underwhelming players such as Luke Joeckel and Johnathan Cyprien and added top-tier talent like A.J. Bouye and plug-and-play guys like Calais Campbell and Barry Church.
They also said goodbye to their 2013 draft class.
As Alfie Crow pointed out last night, not a single player remains with the Jaguars whom general manager Dave Caldwell drafted.
2013 Jaguars draft class
Round | Selection | Player | Position | Status |
---|---|---|---|---|
Round | Selection | Player | Position | Status |
1 | 2 | Luke Joeckel | OT | Seahawks |
2 | 33 | Johnathan Cyprien | SS | Titans |
3 | 64 | Dwayne Gratz | CB | Eagles |
4 | 101 | Ace Sanders | WR | Retired |
5 | 135 | Denard Robinson | RB | Free Agent |
6 | 169 | Josh Evans | FS | Washington |
7 | 208 | Jeremy Harris | CB | CFL |
7 | 210 | Demetrius McCray | CB |
As you can see, half of these players aren’t even on an NFL team anymore. Their first-round pick in Joeckel is on a one-year contract and the only player on a contract that runs past 2018 is Cyprien, who signed with the Titans yesterday.
This is a disaster of a draft class and inexplicably, Caldwell, the man in charge of it all, still has a job as general manager in the Jaguars front office. Granted, he absolutely took a demotion when Tom Coughlin was hired as Executive VP of Football Operations, but Caldwell is still gainfully employed.
Go Jaguars.
