Jacksonville Jaguars Win Summary: Jacksonville traded QB Rob Johnson to Buffalo for the 9th overall pick in 1998 (Fred Taylor) and a 4th-round pick (Tavian Banks). Analysis: This is the second most important trade in Jaguars history. Jacksonville cashed in Johnson — who never developed into a starter in Buffalo — at peak perceived value and received the pick that became Fred Taylor. Taylor rushed for 11,271 yards, made the Pro Bowl in 2003, and remains the franchise's all-time leading rusher. The trade worked perfectly: Buffalo absorbed Johnson's limitations at enormous cost while Jacksonville got a franchise-defining running back for a backup quarterback. The A+ grade and F for Buffalo are both fully justified.
