Under "Winners" on ESPN:

2. Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jaguars finally get a break. For years, they were looking for the heir to David Garrard's starting job at quarterback. Thanks in part to 49ers not taking a quarterback and the Titans taking Jake Locker with the eighth pick, the Jaguars accomplished something that they might not have done until the 2012 draft -- they got their quarterback, Blaine Gabbert. Once Gabbert fell to the 10th pick, the Jaguars traded up with the Redskins to get him. The cost was a second-round pick. Had they tried to move up from the second round to get a quarterback, they might have had to sacrifice a first-rounder in 2012. Drafting at 16 originally, the Jags weren't in a good spot to get one of the top-rated quarterbacks. Getting Gabbart was like hitting the lottery, particularly in a division that has elite quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Matt Schaub.

I swear if Gabbert becomes a super star, I will be so pissed. Even if Kerrigan is a Pro Bowler it will not trump a franchise QB. I just feel like this will come back to bite us.
