The Jags drafted Reggie Nelson 21st overall in the 2007 NFL Draft. The Jags had traded down with the Broncos, who in turn drafted Jarvis Moss.

Nelson started strong and showed promise for the Jags. He had 11 defended passes and 5 interceptions in his first season alone. While Nelson was "all over the field," his deficiencies began to show. He often would bite on play action passes, look too much into the backfield, and take a bad angle when perusing the ball. He struggled the next two years, and was virtually permanently benched by 2009. He wouldn't start for the Jags again before being traded for the 2010 season.

Selected before: Brandon Meriweather, Eric Weddle, Paul Posluszny

The one on the list who could potentially redeem himself, Justin Blackmon was drafted to the Jags in 2012. The Jags used the 5th pick in the first round of the draft, trading with the Tampa Bay Bucs their number seven selection and a fourth round pick.

Blackmon proved to play well-- achieving the third-most amount of yards by a rookie in a single game as well as the second-most in franchise history. He finished his first season with 64 receptions and over 800 yards.

So what makes him a bust, then? The Jags gave up a lot in the draft to get Blackmon. While he played well, he has as of now, been indefinitely suspended due to substance abuse violations.
