I'm surprised this debate is still going on. Obviously Jacksonville would destroy any individual college team, without a doubt.

The ONLY debate is about a college all-star team, but once again I'd take the Jags by at least 21. It be one thing if you let me cherry pick a team after I had seen them pan out in the NFL, you know, like every NFL team does. It is quite another to take talent that is unproven at the NFL level and make a competitive team. It simply wouldn't happen.

Like someone said, if you went down the draft board from 2013 and filled your team with the first players drafted at each position, you still wouldn't stand a chance against the Jaguars.

According to the link above, the average NFL draft of 224 picks produces 71 eventual NFL starters.

The first round produces an average of 24 starters that break into the line up within the first year.

The second round produces 16 starters that are ready to play within 2 years.

The third round produces 9.6 starters that are ready to play by their third season.

So, you can see how hard it is to fill 22 starting spots with college guys. NFL GMs are the best in the business and they hit on less than 1/3rd of their draft picks and only 62.5% in the first two rounds.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars has a team with 22 NFL starters.
