Former Jaguars.com senior writer Vic Ketchman used to say wide recievers were “a dime a dozen.” The Jacksonville Jaguars certainly tested that theory in the mid-2000’s after the departure of franchise great Jimmy Smith.
From 2004-2007, the Jaguars spent 6 draft selections on wide receivers, including two first round picks (Reggie Williams and Matt Jones in back-to-back seasons). The most productive player from those drafts was probably 2007 third round pick Mike Sims-Walker out of UCF. “Productive” is a generous term, as Sims-Walker’s best season in 2009 capped out at 869 yards and 7 touchdowns.
