The Jacksonville Jaguars were the worst team in the NFL in the 2012 season. Former general manager Gene Smith had just completed arguably the most ineffective stretch of running a franchise ever and the team was bereft of talent. The case could be made there were no above average players on the roster heading into 2013.
With all that taken into account, it was reasonable to have plenty of patience with new general manager David Caldwell. The roster needed a complete overhaul and Caldwell had to start his restoration with one of the weakest draft classes in recent memory.
