In 2011, Blaine Gabbert forewent his senior year to be drafted in the first round by the Jags. Gabbert was the 10th overall pick; the Jags trading 6 spots with the Redskins. Gabbert signed a 4 year contract for 12 million dollars.

Gabbert wasn’t supposed to be the starting QB, but two weeks in David Garrard was released and Luke McCown was performing poorly. Gabbert would struggle his rookie year, though—getting sacked over 40 times, lacking any sort of pocket presence, and fumbling 14 times. Gabbert also had the second worse completion record in the league, completing only 50% of his passes.

Gabbert would start the 2012 season with an impressive game against the Vikings, but would struggle in the weeks that followed. In a game against the Raiders, Gabbert tore a muscle in his non-throwing shoulder. Injuries would continue to plague Gabbert, placing him on injury reserve and eventually becoming replaced by Chad Henne.

Selected before: JJ Watt, Mike Pouncey, DeMarco Murray
