Rashad Bauman

Summary: Jacksonville traded the 76th pick (Melvin Fowler) to Cleveland and received Wali Rainer and the 79th pick (Rashad Bauman, later traded). Analysis: Moving down three spots and adding a veteran linebacker (Rainer) looks attractive on paper, but Rainer provided minimal impact in Jacksonville. The picks were close enough in value that the player add was the differentiator — and that player underperformed. This rates as a true even trade.

Summary: Jacksonville traded down 10 spots in the 3rd round (79th to 89th) and added a 4th-round pick, landing Akin Ayodele (89th) and Chris Luzar (118th). Analysis: Moving down 10 spots in the 3rd round and picking up a 4th is a reasonable value capture. Ayodele became a useful starting linebacker; Luzar did not stick. Jacksonville extracted a pick while still getting a playable player. This is a minor Jacksonville lean, not a true even trade.
