Julian Edelman

Summary: Jacksonville traded a 7th-round pick (Julian Edelman, 232nd) and a future 2010 2nd-round pick (44th overall, later traded as Lamarr Houston) to New England for a 3rd-round pick (Derek Cox, 73rd). Analysis: On the day of the trade, Jacksonville appeared to be moving up from a 7th and 2nd to a 3rd — reasonable-seeming. In hindsight, the 7th became Julian Edelman, one of the most productive receivers in Patriots history and a Super Bowl MVP. The 2nd-round pick (Houston) became a Pro Bowl linebacker. Derek Cox was a serviceable corner but nowhere near the combined value of what Jacksonville sent. This is one of the more quietly disastrous trades in Jaguars history. D grade is correct.
