Jacksonville Jaguars
Arizona acquired tight end Hunter Long and a 2028 seventh-round pick from Jacksonville on August 30, 2026 for a 2028 sixth-round selection, pending a physical. The Cardinals address an immediate tight-end need while Jacksonville moves up one round in a distant draft for a player near the back of its depth chart. With modest cost and modest return on both sides, the current verdict is even.
Miami traded quarterback Quinn Ewers to Jacksonville on August 29, 2026 for a sixth-round selection in the 2028 NFL Draft, pending a physical. Ewers had already made three rookie starts, giving Jacksonville inexpensive quarterback depth with actual regular-season experience. Miami converted a former seventh-round investment into a higher future pick while reshaping its quarterback room.
The Giants traded veteran offensive lineman Daniel Faalele to Jacksonville on August 19, 2026 for the Jaguars' 2027 sixth-round pick. Faalele arrived with 66 regular-season appearances and 35 starts, including 34 consecutive starts at right guard over the prior two seasons. Jacksonville gets the slight early edge for buying experienced line help cheaply, but the unresolved 2027 pick keeps the grades close.
Carolina received Nos. 124 and 166 and subsequently moved both selections through later draft activity. The Panthers' side preserved more flexible capital and is supportable as the slightly stronger return, although the difference is modest. That outcome supports a B- grade within the Carolina Panthers Win verdict. The grade reflects realized football value rather than the size of the original package.
Jacksonville Jaguars received Josh Cameron at No. 191; the rookie made Jacksonville's roster and opened 2026 with two catches for 20 yards and a touchdown, plus a 23-yard kick return. The team earns a C, compared with C for New England Patriots, and the hindsight verdict is Even Trade. That judgment reflects the concrete team-specific production, role and tenure created by the assets in this deal.
On 2026-04-17, Atlanta Falcons received Maason Smith, while Jacksonville Jaguars received Ruke Orhorhoro. The hindsight verdict is Even Trade, with Atlanta Falcons graded C and Jacksonville Jaguars graded C. The evaluation credits only the consideration that can be traced confidently and keeps uncertain pick details out of the final judgment.
Jacksonville acquired Jakobi Meyers from Las Vegas at the 2025 deadline for 2026 fourth- and sixth-round picks. Meyers quickly became a reliable target, produced for a winning Jaguars stretch and then agreed to a long-term extension. The price was meaningful, but Jacksonville did not rent him for only a few games; it added an established receiver who became part of the club's continuing plan.
Jacksonville acquired Greg Newsome II and a 2026 sixth-round pick from Cleveland for Tyson Campbell and a 2026 seventh. Newsome recorded 29 tackles, six passes defensed and an interception in 12 Jaguars games. Campbell produced 53 tackles, 12 passes defensed, an interception touchdown and a forced fumble for Cleveland, while Jacksonville also improved the attached draft choice by one round.
Jacksonville sent Tank Bigsby to Philadelphia in September 2025 for a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2026 sixth-round pick. The Eagles added a proven young runner and kick-return option behind Saquon Barkley, while the Jaguars converted a crowded backfield asset into two future selections that later carried identifiable draft value.
Jacksonville paid a premium to move from No. 5 to No. 2 in 2025 for two-way star Travis Hunter, also receiving Bhayshul Tuten and Rayuan Lane. Cleveland turned the move down into Mason Graham, Quinshon Judkins, Dylan Sampson and Jacksonville’s 2026 first-rounder, used on KC Concepcion. After one season, Cleveland has already produced more established NFL value, while Hunter’s ceiling keeps Jacksonville’s case very much alive.
Houston acquired veteran receiver Christian Kirk from Jacksonville for a 2026 seventh-round pick. The price was minimal for an experienced target, and Kirk contributed to a Texans offense that needed veteran help around C.J. Stroud. Jacksonville gained cap flexibility and at least converted an expected departure into draft capital, but the realized football value favored Houston.
Minnesota acquired Cam Robinson at midseason after Christian Darrisaw was injured and received the veteran tackle play it urgently needed during a 14-win season. Jacksonville ultimately secured a 2026 fourth-round pick, a respectable return for a player on an expiring contract. The Jaguars were compensated fairly, but Robinson's immediate role in stabilizing Minnesota's line gives the Vikings the modest edge.
Seattle acquired defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris from Jacksonville in October 2024 for a 2026 sixth-round selection. The Seahawks added an established interior defender during the season without sacrificing premium draft capital. Robertson-Harris immediately strengthened a position of need, giving Seattle useful veteran snaps at a price low enough to make the acquisition efficient even without a long-term star outcome.
Seattle acquired edge defender Trevis Gipson from Jacksonville on August 26, 2024, for a 2025 sixth-round choice that became No. 194 overall. Gipson appeared in only five games for the Seahawks and logged a limited defensive role before the relationship ended. The brief return did not justify surrendering a draft asset that Jacksonville ultimately retained in the next draft.
Minnesota moved from No. 23 to No. 17 in 2024 for edge rusher Dallas Turner, sending Jacksonville four selections. Turner developed from a rookie reserve into a 10-game starter with eight sacks and four forced fumbles in 2025. Jacksonville still owns the stronger return because No. 23 became Brian Thomas Jr., who posted a 1,282-yard Pro Bowl rookie season, while the additional Jaguars assets provided extra value around him.
Jacksonville Jaguars received Mac Jones in the 2024-03-13 exchange, while New England Patriots received 2024 6th round pick (193rd overall, Joe Milton). Jacksonville acquired Mac Jones as a low-cost quarterback addition and gave up a sixth-round pick. The move provided depth and a familiar player for the organization, but the price still became a concrete draft asset for New England.
Minnesota sent starting guard Ezra Cleveland to Jacksonville at the 2023 deadline for a 2024 sixth-round pick, which became tackle Walter Rouse at No. 177. Cleveland quickly became a Jaguars starter, re-signed in 2024 and started 36 regular-season games for Jacksonville through 2025. Rouse played eight games without a start over his first two Vikings seasons. Jacksonville obtained far more immediate and sustained value.
Detroit Lions received Riley Patterson in the 2023-05-25 exchange, while Jacksonville Jaguars received 2026 7th round pick (233rd overall, Zach Durfee). Detroit acquired kicker Riley Patterson and received immediate roster value from the move. The price was a conditional 2026 seventh-round choice, which later met its condition and became a real selection for Jacksonville.
Jacksonville received No. 227 in 2023 and a 2024 fourth-round pick. Raymond Vohasek did not create meaningful regular-season value, while Jordan Jefferson provided rotational defensive-line snaps for Jacksonville in 2024. The Jaguars therefore extracted some usable depth from the package, but not enough high-impact production to create clear separation from the reserve-quarterback value New Orleans received.
Chicago moved up for Tyrique Stevenson, who quickly became a starting cornerback and a substantial part of the Bears' secondary. His career is still developing, but the early return includes meaningful starting snaps and legitimate defensive value at a premium position. That makes Chicago's side productive, though not clearly superior to Jacksonville's two-player return while all three players remain relatively early in their careers.
Jacksonville moved back one spot from No. 24 to No. 25 and collected picks No. 160 and No. 240 from the Giants. New York used No. 24 on cornerback Deonte Banks, while Jacksonville preserved first-round flexibility and added the selection used on safety Antonio Johnson. The Jaguars soon traded No. 25 again, so that later move should be judged separately. This direct exchange gave both teams what they wanted without an obvious loser.
Jacksonville sent the 25th pick in the 2023 draft to Buffalo for Nos. 27 and 130. Buffalo used No. 25 on tight end Dalton Kincaid, while Jacksonville selected tackle Anton Harrison at No. 27 and defensive lineman Tyler Lacy at No. 130. Kincaid and Harrison both became meaningful young starters, leaving a balanced value exchange with additional depth value flowing to Jacksonville.
Jacksonville acquired suspended receiver Calvin Ridley from Atlanta in 2022 for conditional draft compensation that ultimately became a 2023 fifth-rounder and a 2024 third-rounder. Ridley returned in 2023 and gave the Jaguars a productive season, but he left in free agency after one year on the field. Atlanta converted an unavailable player into two picks, including Day 2 capital, giving the Falcons the stronger lasting value.
Jacksonville Jaguars traded James Robinson to the New York Jets for a conditional 2023 pick that remained a sixth-rounder and became No. 185, Parker Washington. Robinson's Jets stint lasted only four games, while Washington developed into a useful Jacksonville receiver and return contributor. Turning a departing running back into a productive draft outcome gives the Jaguars an A- and the clear win.
Carolina Panthers received Laviska Shenault. Carolina received wide receiver Laviska Shenault and used him immediately as an offensive contributor. Shenault supplied touches as both a receiver and runner, giving the Panthers near-term roster value from the deal. Jacksonville received future late-round capital, but Carolina obtained the more useful established player at the time of the exchange. That stronger outcome supports a B- grade for Carolina Panthers.
Green Bay Packers Green Bay received the 2023 seventh-round pick that became No. 242 Anthony Johnson. The Packers retained draft value, but the direct payoff did not surpass the multi-year line value Jacksonville received. The supported hindsight grade is C. That mark weighs only value tied directly to this transaction and keeps the result proportional to the deal's cost. Against Jacksonville Jaguars, the final verdict is Jacksonville Jaguars Win.
Jacksonville Jaguars received 2022 5th round pick (154th overall, Snoop Conner) in the 2022-04-30 exchange with Philadelphia Eagles. Snoop Conner produced limited value for Jacksonville after the Jaguars moved up to No. 154. The direct package is the basis for the hindsight grade, with later movement of an acquired selection treated separately. That supports Philadelphia Eagles Win.
Jacksonville sent 2022 picks Nos. 157 and 235 to Tampa Bay for the Buccaneers' 2023 fourth-round selection, which became No. 121 Ventrell Miller. Tampa Bay used No. 157 on cornerback Zyon McCollum and later moved No. 235. Both clubs produced usable players from the exchange, but the Buccaneers received two current picks and turned the higher one into a meaningful defensive contributor, giving Tampa Bay the stronger return.
Jacksonville moved back into the first round in 2022 for linebacker Devin Lloyd, sending Tampa Bay picks No. 33, No. 106 and No. 180. Lloyd became a productive four-year starter and Pro Bowl player. Tampa Bay countered with defensive lineman Logan Hall and tight end Cade Otton, both durable multi-year contributors, plus another pick. The Buccaneers' depth of return narrowly exceeds Jacksonville's excellent single player.
Jacksonville sent cornerback C.J. Henderson and a 2022 fifth-round pick to Carolina for tight end Dan Arnold and a 2022 third-round choice. The Jaguars used the higher selection, No. 70, on linebacker Chad Muma, giving them both immediate tight end help and materially stronger draft capital. Henderson's Carolina tenure did not produce enough value to offset that combined return.
Seattle acquired cornerback Sidney Jones from Jacksonville at the 2021 roster deadline for a 2022 sixth-round selection, No. 188 overall. Jones moved into a meaningful role in the Seahawks secondary and gave the team starting-caliber snaps for a very small draft cost. That immediate defensive value made the trade worthwhile even though his Seattle tenure was not especially long.
Jacksonville traded Gardner Minshew to Philadelphia for a conditional 2022 sixth-round pick. The condition was not met at a level that improved the compensation, and the Jaguars ultimately held pick No. 197, which they used on defensive back Gregory Junior. Jacksonville converted a reserve quarterback into a young, inexpensive defender, but the return remained modest enough to keep the deal close.
Jacksonville Jaguars Jacksonville received the 2022 sixth-round pick at No. 198 and later used it as part of additional draft movement. The pick preserved some value, but the direct return was less substantial than Pittsburgh's season of starting linebacker production. The supported hindsight grade is C. That mark weighs only value tied directly to this transaction and keeps the result proportional to the deal's cost. Against Pittsburgh Steelers, the final verdict is Pittsburgh Steelers Win.
Jacksonville Jaguars received Jameson Houston and 2023 6th round pick (208th overall, Erick Hallett) from Philadelphia Eagles in the 2021-05-18 exchange. Jameson Houston was waived by Jacksonville before the 2021 season and Erick Hallett remained a practice-squad player there, while Josiah Scott played 33 Eagles games with four starts and two interceptions. Measured by what Jacksonville Jaguars actually realized after the deal, the return supports a D+ grade and represents the weaker realized return. The overall judgment is Philadelphia Eagles Win.
Jacksonville moved up from No. 130 to No. 121 in the 2021 draft and added No. 209, selecting Jordan Smith and Jalen Camp. The Rams received Nos. 130, 170 and 249, using the package on Robert Rochell, later trade capital, and Ben Skowronek. Los Angeles extracted more usable depth and optionality from the exchange, earning a B to Jacksonville's C-.
Baltimore Ravens received Josh Oliver in the exchange with Jacksonville Jaguars. Josh Oliver became a useful Baltimore tight end and started nine games in 2022 while contributing 149 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Against Jacksonville Jaguars' return of 2022 7th round pick (235th overall subsequently traded, Daniel Hardy), that outcome supports a B grade. The transaction is judged as Baltimore Ravens Win, with the mark based on the football value that actually followed from the deal.
Jacksonville Jaguars received Malcom Brown from New Orleans Saints, giving up 2021 7th round pick (229th overall subsequently traded, Mike Strachan). Jacksonville's March 17 acquisition date is supportable, and the pick can be followed to No. 229. The return supports a B grade because the value directly tied to this deal fits that mark. The final verdict is Jacksonville Jaguars Win.
Jacksonville received linebacker Kamalei Correa plus Tennessee's 2021 seventh-round pick while surrendering a 2021 sixth-rounder. Correa's Jaguars stay was brief, but the club added a veteran and still retained later draft capital. Moving down only one round for that combination gave Jacksonville the slightly stronger practical return.
Cleveland Browns received Ronnie Harrison from Jacksonville Jaguars, giving up 2021 5th round pick (170th overall subsequently traded, Garret Wallow). The fifth-round return can be followed to No. 170 before a later move. The return supports a B- grade because the value directly tied to this deal fits that mark. The final verdict is Cleveland Browns Win.
Minnesota acquired Yannick Ngakoue from Jacksonville for a 2021 second-round pick and conditional 2022 fifth, but the experiment lasted only six games. Ngakoue recorded five sacks before the Vikings traded him to Baltimore for a third and conditional fifth, recovering much of the cost. Jacksonville used the second-rounder on Walker Little, who developed into a starting tackle and earned an extension in 2024. The Jaguars won, though Minnesota's successful salvage keeps the loss from being severe.
Jacksonville traded Nick Foles to Chicago for the 140th pick in the 2020 draft, which became linebacker Shaquille Quarterman. The Jaguars escaped a quarterback situation that had collapsed after one injury-marred season and recovered a fourth-round asset. Chicago received a veteran challenger to Mitchell Trubisky, but Foles went 2-5 as a Bears starter in 2020 and never solved the franchise's quarterback problem.
Baltimore acquired Calais Campbell from Jacksonville for the 157th pick in the 2020 draft. Campbell spent three seasons with the Ravens, appearing in 41 games with 113 tackles, 11 sacks and 36 quarterback hits while making the 2020 Pro Bowl and serving as a defensive leader. Jacksonville used the fifth-round pick on safety Daniel Thomas, who became a durable special-teams contributor but only a spot defensive starter. Baltimore received considerably more impact.
Denver Broncos received A.J. Bouye in the 2020-03-03 exchange, while Jacksonville Jaguars received 2020 4th round pick (137th overall, Josiah Scott). Denver acquired veteran cornerback A.J. Bouye for a 2020 fourth-round pick. The move addressed an immediate roster need, but the Broncos did not receive enough long-term value from Bouye to create a clear advantage.
Jacksonville Jaguars
The Rams acquired Jalen Ramsey from Jacksonville for first-round picks in 2020 and 2021 plus a 2021 fourth-rounder. Ramsey became an All-Pro centerpiece of Los Angeles' secondary and helped the Rams win Super Bowl LVI. Jacksonville turned the first-rounders into K'Lavon Chaisson and Travis Etienne, giving the Jaguars useful talent but not an equivalent defensive star.
Jacksonville Jaguars acquired Joshua Dobbs from Pittsburgh in 2019 for a 2020 fifth-round pick. Dobbs did not appear in a regular-season game for Jacksonville before returning to the Steelers the following year, so the Jaguars gained almost no direct on-field value. Giving up useful fifth-round capital for a backup quarterback who never played leaves Jacksonville with a D+.
Jacksonville moved from No. 38 to No. 35 in the 2019 draft and added later picks, selecting tackle Jawaan Taylor at No. 35, Ryquell Armstead at No. 140 and Dontavius Russell at No. 235. The Raiders received Nos. 38 and 109 and moved those choices again. Taylor became a four-year starting right tackle for Jacksonville, giving the Jaguars the clearest realized value.
Los Angeles acquired edge rusher Dante Fowler from Jacksonville at the 2018 trade deadline for a 2019 third-round pick and a 2020 fifth-round pick. The Rams acquired Dante Fowler at the 2018 deadline and received immediate pass-rush help for a Super Bowl run, then re-signed him for 2019 when he produced a career-high 11.5 sacks. Jacksonville turned the picks into Quincy Williams and Collin Johnson, but neither delivered comparable value for the Jaguars. Fowler's postseason impact and strong 2019 season make Los Angeles the winner.
Cleveland Browns received 2019 5th round pick (144th overall). Cleveland retained the future fifth-round value and later folded that asset into the draft movement associated with Greedy Williams, preserving more usable roster-building value than Jacksonville received from Hyde. Compared with Jacksonville Jaguars' return, the result supports a B+ grade and fits the Cleveland Browns Win verdict.
Jacksonville acquired Marcell Dareus from Buffalo during the 2017 season for a conditional draft pick that became a 2018 fifth-rounder. Dareus helped fix a struggling run defense and contributed to the Jaguars' AFC Championship Game run. Buffalo cleared a massive contract, selected Wyatt Teller with the eventual No. 166 pick and later traded Teller in a package that produced more draft value, including the selection used on kicker Tyler Bass.
Baltimore Ravens Baltimore acquired Luke Bowanko for veteran offensive-line depth in 2017. His role was limited, but he supplied immediate roster utility to a team seeking interior line options. The supported hindsight grade is B-. That mark weighs only value tied directly to this transaction and keeps the result proportional to the deal's cost. Against Jacksonville Jaguars, the final verdict is Even Trade.
Jacksonville Jaguars received Branden Albert from Miami Dolphins, sending conditional 2018 pick (not conveyed) the other way. The current not-conveyed treatment therefore captures the realized transaction correctly. That outcome supports a C- grade for Jacksonville Jaguars, and the overall verdict is Even Trade. The grade stays proportional to the size of the exchange and the direct value created for the original club.
Jacksonville jumped from No. 38 to No. 36 for Myles Jack, sending Baltimore No. 38 and No. 146. Jack became a long-term Jaguars starter and made the move worthwhile. Baltimore still won the value battle: it later moved No. 38 again and used No. 146 on Matt Judon, who developed into a Pro Bowl edge defender and recorded 34.5 sacks for the Ravens.
Jacksonville traded veteran kicker Josh Scobee to Pittsburgh on August 31, 2015 for a 2016 sixth-round pick, later No. 201 and used on Brandon Allen. Scobee's Pittsburgh tenure lasted only four games before the Steelers released him after costly misses. Jacksonville did not receive Allen's later production with other clubs as direct value, but converting a departing kicker into a draft choice still produced the better result.
Jacksonville Jaguars received 2015 4th round pick (104th overall, James Sample); 2015 7th round pick (229th overall, Ben Koyack) in the 2015-05-02 exchange with New York Jets. James Sample's career was limited by injuries, but Ben Koyack became useful tight-end depth and caught the winning touchdown in Jacksonville's 2017 Wild Card victory. The direct package is the basis for the hindsight grade, with later movement of an acquired selection treated separately. That supports Jacksonville Jaguars Win.
Jacksonville traded picks No. 70 and No. 150 to San Francisco for No. 61 and selected Allen Robinson. Robinson became the Jaguars' leading receiver, produced a 1,400-yard, 14-touchdown season in 2015 and gave Jacksonville four years of starting-caliber play. San Francisco used the return on Marcus Martin and Aaron Lynch; Lynch flashed as a pass rusher, while Martin started early but did not become a long-term answer. Jacksonville landed the clear best player.
Jacksonville moved up for Brandon Linder and landed an eight-year offensive-line cornerstone who started 88 games and became a five-time team captain. New England received Bryan Stork and Jon Halapio. Stork delivered immediate value as the starting center for a Super Bowl champion, but his Patriots tenure was brief. Linder’s much longer run of high-level starting value gives Jacksonville the stronger return.
Jacksonville received the 205th pick in the 2014 draft and selected Luke Bowanko. Jacksonville received the 205th pick in the 2014 draft and used it on Luke Bowanko. Bowanko started fourteen games as a rookie and remained useful depth afterward, giving the Jaguars an immediate lineup return from a sixth-round selection. That combination of early starts and continued roster utility made the pick worthwhile. In hindsight, that result supports a B- grade for Jacksonville Jaguars in a deal ultimately judged as Jacksonville Jaguars Win.
Jacksonville dealt left tackle Eugene Monroe to Baltimore for 2014 fourth- and fifth-round selections that became Aaron Colvin and Chris Smith. Monroe immediately filled a major Ravens need and later re-signed, but injuries limited the long-term payoff. Colvin developed into a multi-year starter for the Jaguars and Smith added rotational pass-rush value. The quantity and duration of Jacksonville’s return give the Jaguars a modest hindsight edge.
Jacksonville converted the trade into Ace Sanders and Demetrius McCray. Sanders provided two seasons of receiving and return work, while McCray became the more useful piece by supplying several seasons of defensive service and starting opportunities at cornerback. Neither became a star, but the Jaguars extracted two legitimate contributors from the deal and received considerably more usable roster value than Philadelphia.
Detroit Lions received Mike Thomas from Jacksonville Jaguars, giving up 2014 5th round pick (150th overall subsequently traded, Aaron Lynch). The supported trade date is October 30, 2012, one day earlier than the stored date. The return supports a D+ grade because the value directly tied to this deal fits that mark. The final verdict is Jacksonville Jaguars Win.
Jacksonville moved from No. 7 to No. 5 in the 2012 draft to select Justin Blackmon, sending Tampa Bay the seventh pick and No. 101. Blackmon flashed star-level ability but played only 20 NFL games before repeated suspensions ended his Jaguars career. Tampa Bay still landed Mark Barron at No. 7 and used the extra fourth-round capital in a productive sequence of draft-day moves, giving the Buccaneers the stronger return.
Jacksonville Jaguars received Dwight Lowery in the deal with New York Jets. Lowery played three Jaguars seasons and started 23 of his 25 games from 2011 through 2013 while recording multiple interceptions. Jacksonville obtained sustained starting safety value for a very late pick. That outcome supports a A- for Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jacksonville Jaguars Win verdict weighs documented games, starts, production and connected draft value.
Jacksonville Jaguars received 2011 3rd round pick (76th overall, Will Rackley) in the 2011-04-29 exchange with San Francisco 49ers. Will Rackley started games for Jacksonville but did not sustain a long, high-impact run with the club. The direct package, rather than later movement of any acquired asset, is the basis for the hindsight judgment. Against what Jacksonville Jaguars surrendered, the result supports San Francisco 49ers Win.
Jacksonville sent the 16th and 49th picks to Washington in 2011 to move to No. 10 for quarterback Blaine Gabbert. Gabbert went 5-22 as a Jaguars starter and was traded after three seasons. Washington selected Ryan Kerrigan at No. 16, landing a four-time Pro Bowler and franchise sack leader, while also controlling the second-round asset. The value gap makes this one of Washington's strongest draft-day wins.
Green Bay acquired safety Anthony Smith from Jacksonville on October 18, 2010 for a conditional 2011 seventh-round pick. Contemporary reports identify the round, and the condition was never met, so no selection was conveyed. Smith appeared in only four games for the Packers before his stint ended. Green Bay obtained short-term injury depth while Jacksonville lost a player it was prepared to move but received no compensation. The deal grades evenly at C/C.
Cincinnati acquired safety Reggie Nelson from Jacksonville for cornerback David Jones and a conditional future pick that ultimately became the Jaguars' 2012 seventh-round selection, No. 228. Jacksonville used that choice on Jeris Pendleton. Nelson developed into a long-term Bengals starter and eventual Pro Bowl safety, while Jones and Pendleton supplied only limited Jacksonville value. Cincinnati turned a modest package into a major secondary piece.
Miami traded guard Justin Smiley to Jacksonville for a conditional 2011 seventh-round pick. Smiley started only five games for the Jaguars before his NFL career ended. The pick became No. 218, and Miami later packaged it in the draft-day move that produced Charles Clay and Frank Kearse. Clay became a four-year offensive starter and receiving threat for the Dolphins, turning a minor veteran sale into substantial downstream value.
Jacksonville received the 2011 fourth-round choice at No. 121 and used it on Chris Prosinski. Prosinski ultimately played more games and remained with the Jaguars longer than Matt Tennant did with New Orleans, giving Jacksonville a modest but meaningful edge. The B- grade reflects that realized football value and the complete supported package, while the overall verdict is Jacksonville Jaguars Win.
Jacksonville sent the 108th pick to Oakland for veteran linebacker Kirk Morrison and pick No. 153, then used the fifth-rounder on Austen Lane. Morrison started all 16 games in 2010, while Lane developed into a multi-year defensive-line contributor. Oakland’s Jacoby Ford was an explosive receiver and returner, including three kickoff-return touchdowns as a rookie, making this a competitive trade that Jacksonville wins narrowly.
Jacksonville Jaguars sent Quentin Groves to Oakland for the 2010 fifth-round slot at No. 158, a choice Jacksonville later moved in another transaction. The Jaguars recovered useful draft currency from a former second-rounder who had not become a core defender. Because the pick itself did not directly become a major Jacksonville player, the return settles at a modest B-.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville acquired quarterback Luke McCown and received limited service from him. He provided veteran depth and some game action, but he did not become a lasting answer for the Jaguars. Because the seventh-round pick sent to Tampa Bay became Dekoda Watson, who played four seasons for the Buccaneers, Jacksonville ended up with the weaker return.
Detroit sent safety Gerald Alexander to Jacksonville for veteran receiver and returner Dennis Northcutt in the summer of 2009. The deal was a direct player swap with no added consideration. Northcutt supplied the Lions with a more useful immediate veteran return than Jacksonville ultimately received from Alexander, giving Detroit a modest edge rather than an overwhelming win.
Jacksonville paid pick No. 232 and a 2010 second-rounder to move up for cornerback Derek Cox at No. 73. Cox became a four-year starter and intercepted 12 passes for the Jaguars, so Jacksonville received solid value. New England selected Julian Edelman at No. 232 and later used the future second-rounder in the move that produced Rob Gronkowski, giving the Patriots a historically superior return.
Miami acquired defensive tackle Tony McDaniel from Jacksonville for the 232nd pick in the 2009 draft. McDaniel spent four seasons with the Dolphins, appearing in 54 games and providing steady rotational interior-line work with seven sacks. Jacksonville later combined No. 232 with a future second-rounder to move up for Derek Cox, so the pick retained value, but Miami received the stronger direct return.
Dallas Cowboys received 2008 5th round pick (143rd overall, Orlando Scandrick). Orlando Scandrick became a long-term Dallas defensive back, appearing across many seasons and giving the Cowboys substantially more staying power than the two later Jacksonville selections produced. Compared with Jacksonville Jaguars' return, the result supports a A- grade and fits the Dallas Cowboys Win verdict.
Jacksonville made one of the boldest moves of the 2008 draft, climbing from No. 26 to No. 8 for defensive end Derrick Harvey and surrendering picks 71, 89 and 125. Harvey never developed into the edge cornerstone the Jaguars expected. Baltimore recycled the haul into a series of moves that helped secure Joe Flacco and other contributors, making the Ravens the overwhelming winner.
Jacksonville moved up from No. 58 to No. 52 for defensive end Quentin Groves, sending Tampa Bay an additional fifth-round pick and a 2009 seventh-rounder. Groves produced only 2.5 sacks in two Jaguars seasons. Tampa's direct second-round selection, Dexter Jackson, also disappointed, but the extra assets helped create Geno Hayes and E.J. Biggers, both useful Buccaneers defenders. Tampa produced much more total value.
Buffalo acquired three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcus Stroud from Jacksonville for picks No. 71 and No. 143. Stroud immediately became a full-time Bills starter and produced 150 tackles with 7.5 sacks across three seasons. Jacksonville later reused both picks in additional draft-day moves, but those chains did not produce comparable long-term Jaguars value. Buffalo received the best direct football asset and clearly won.
Minnesota traded wide receiver Troy Williamson to Jacksonville for the 193rd pick in the 2008 draft and selected Jaymar Johnson. Williamson caught only eight passes for 64 yards and one touchdown across two Jaguars seasons. Johnson made the Vikings as a reserve after a practice-squad year but recorded only one NFL reception. Both teams took inexpensive chances on disappointing assets, and neither created meaningful long-term value.
Jacksonville sent Atlanta three sixth-round picks, Nos. 194, 198 and 203, to move up to No. 149 in the 2007 draft. The Jaguars selected guard Uche Nwaneri, who became a long-term starter and spent seven seasons with the franchise. Atlanta used its three selections on David Irons, Doug Datish and Daren Stone, none of whom produced comparable Falcons value.
Denver traded picks No. 21, No. 86 and No. 198 to Jacksonville for No. 17 and selected defensive end Jarvis Moss. Moss never became the impact pass rusher expected from a first-round move-up. Jacksonville selected safety Reggie Nelson at No. 21 and later reused the other two picks in additional moves that helped create more roster assets. Nelson alone gave the Jaguars three seasons of starting secondary value, making Jacksonville the decisive winner.
Jacksonville sent the 86th pick to Baltimore for Nos. 101, 166 and 203, giving the Ravens the selection they used on guard Marshal Yanda. The Jaguars turned the later picks into punter Adam Podlesh, defensive tackle Derek Landri and, after another move, safety Daren Stone. Podlesh and Landri supplied useful service, but Yanda's eight Pro Bowls and championship career made Baltimore the overwhelming winner.
Jacksonville Jaguars received 2006 7th round pick (213th overall, James Wyche); 2006 7th round pick (236th overall, Dee Webb) in the 2006-04-30 exchange with San Francisco 49ers. James Wyche and Dee Webb had limited NFL careers, so Jacksonville's two seventh-round selections yielded little lasting return. The direct return and the football value it produced drive the hindsight judgment. Against the assets Jacksonville Jaguars surrendered, the result supports San Francisco 49ers Win and a C- grade for Jacksonville Jaguars.
Jacksonville moved up from pick 92 to pick 80 for linebacker Clint Ingram, sending Dallas the 92nd and 125th selections. The Cowboys used those choices on defensive end Jason Hatcher and returner Skyler Green. Jacksonville's return was respectable, but Dallas gained the better long-term player while also receiving the extra selection, giving the Cowboys the stronger overall result.
Jacksonville Jaguars received Jamie Winborn, who played only five games for Jacksonville before a knee injury sent him to injured reserve and did not become a long-term Jaguars contributor. The return earns a D+, versus B- for San Francisco 49ers, with a hindsight verdict of San Francisco 49ers Win. Concrete team-specific production and downstream results drive the grade.
Jacksonville received Alvin Pearman and Chad Owens. Pearman supplied backfield and return depth, while Owens had only a brief Jaguars tenure before continuing his career elsewhere. The two selections created some roster value but never produced a long-term starter or impact player. That limited return is difficult to match against Kerry Rhodes, who became an immediate and durable fixture in New York's secondary.
Baltimore acquired wide receiver Kevin Johnson from Jacksonville for the 120th pick in the 2004 draft. Baltimore acquired wide receiver Kevin Johnson and received one season of modest receiving production. Johnson gave the Ravens a veteran option, but the stay was short and did not create a major long-term payoff. The return was serviceable rather than empty, which supports a respectable grade even though Jacksonville clearly did better. In hindsight, that result supports a C grade for Baltimore Ravens in a deal ultimately judged as Jacksonville Jaguars Win.
Houston sent 2004 fifth-round No. 159 to Jacksonville and received sixth-round No. 175 plus seventh-round No. 210, selecting Jammal Lord and Raheem Orr. Jacksonville used No. 159 on Sean Bubin. Because none of the three players produced a durable team-specific payoff, the extra Houston selection did not create meaningful separation and the exchange remains even.
Jacksonville traded picks 70 and 102 in the 2004 draft to Green Bay for pick 55, then selected Greg Jones. The fullback and running back became a durable Jaguars contributor, spending nine seasons with the franchise and starting regularly. Green Bay selected Joey Thomas at 70 and later moved the 102nd pick, but the Packers did not receive comparable sustained value from this specific package. Jacksonville wins the documented exchange.
Jacksonville Jaguars received 2004 5th round pick (150th overall, Chris Thompson) from New Orleans Saints. Jacksonville received the fifth-round choice later used on Chris Thompson. Thompson did not appear in a regular-season game for the Jaguars, leaving the club without direct on-field value from its incoming asset. That outcome supports a D grade for Jacksonville Jaguars. The final verdict is New Orleans Saints Win, based on the football value the club actually realized from the assets it controlled after the exchange.
Washington acquired veteran quarterback Mark Brunell from Jacksonville for the 72nd pick in the 2004 draft. Brunell struggled in his first season but rebounded in 2005, starting 15 games for a 10-6 playoff team and throwing 23 touchdowns against 10 interceptions. Jacksonville later moved pick No. 72 for Jorge Cordova and Anthony Maddox, neither of whom became a major contributor. Washington received the more consequential return.
Baltimore Ravens Baltimore received the conditional 2004 seventh-round choice that became No. 210 and later moved the pick. The late-round asset retained some value but did not exceed Jacksonville's immediate veteran contribution. The supported hindsight grade is C. That mark weighs only value tied directly to this transaction and keeps the result proportional to the deal's cost. Against Jacksonville Jaguars, the final verdict is Jacksonville Jaguars Win.
Chicago Bears received 2003 5th round pick (143rd overall, Justin Gage) in the 2003-04-27 exchange with Jacksonville Jaguars. Justin Gage became a useful NFL receiver and supplied materially more realized value than Jacksonville's three later selections. That gives Chicago Bears the stronger overall return. The transaction still produced a concrete basis for the hindsight grade.
Seattle traded cornerback Ike Charlton to Jacksonville in June 2002 and received a 2003 seventh-round selection that its official trade history identifies as No. 222 overall, used on kicker Josh Brown. Brown became Seattle’s primary kicker for five seasons and scored heavily for a perennial contender. Turning a surplus defensive back into that long-term specialist value was an excellent Seahawks outcome.
Cleveland moved up three spots and selected center Melvin Fowler at No. 76. Fowler gave the Browns three seasons of useful offensive-line service and made 14 starts, so the trade did produce a legitimate contributor. The return was respectable for a third-round move, but it did not match Jacksonville's combination of Wali Rainer's immediate starting role and the additional No. 79 selection.
Jacksonville acquired guard Brenden Stai from Kansas City for a 2001 fourth-round pick. Jacksonville acquired guard Brenden Stai and immediately received a full season of starting work. Stai started all sixteen games for the Jaguars in 2000, delivering exactly the kind of dependable short-term line value a veteran trade is designed to provide. That complete season of starts made the acquisition a strong result at the price. In hindsight, that result supports a B grade for Jacksonville Jaguars in a deal ultimately judged as Jacksonville Jaguars Win.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville acquired defensive end Regan Upshaw from Tampa Bay on October 19, 1999 for a 2001 sixth-round pick, later No. 174 Jameel Cook. Cook was the eventual use of the pick, not a second player directly traded in 1999. Upshaw appeared in only six games for Jacksonville, leaving the Jaguars with very little realized value.
Seattle acquired cornerback Cordell Taylor from Jacksonville on September 5, 1999, for a conditional 2001 draft choice. Seattle's official trade history states that the condition was not met, so the Jaguars never received the pick. Taylor appeared in two games for the Seahawks, making this a tiny but positive return obtained without surrendered draft capital.
Jacksonville moved up from No. 195 in the 1999 draft, also sending No. 233 to Tampa Bay, and received No. 182. The Jaguars used that selection on defensive tackle Emarlos Leroy, who appeared in 22 games over two seasons for Jacksonville. Tampa Bay received Lamarr Glenn and Autry Denson with the two picks. The Jaguars turned the trade into the clearest NFL contribution, giving them the hindsight edge.
Jacksonville sent quarterback Rob Johnson to Buffalo in February 1998 for the ninth and 101st picks. The Jaguars used No. 9 on Fred Taylor, who became the franchise's career rushing leader, and No. 101 on Tavian Banks. Buffalo paid a premium for a quarterback who never became a stable long-term starter, making this one of Jacksonville's most favorable trades.
Green Bay Packers received Paul Frase while Jacksonville Jaguars received 1998 6th round pick (182nd overall, Kevin McLeod). Green Bay received veteran defensive lineman Paul Frase, but his Packers stay was brief and produced very little lasting value. The club obtained an experienced player, yet the return did not become a meaningful part of the roster. That outcome supports a C- grade for Green Bay Packers in this trade.
Chicago acquired Jimmy Herndon from Jacksonville for a 1998 seventh-round pick. Chicago acquired Jimmy Herndon but received only seven games from him. That brief stint produced limited value and did not become a lasting roster solution. For the Bears, the trade amounted to a short look at a player without the kind of sustained contribution needed to match what Jacksonville later received from the draft choice. In hindsight, that result supports a D+ grade for Chicago Bears in a deal ultimately judged as Jacksonville Jaguars Win.
Miami sent Jacksonville the 60th and 99th picks for four selections: Nos. 79, 98, 134 and 150. The Dolphins' most valuable direct result was Shane Burton, who played 47 games and made 12 starts for Miami before continuing a 125-game NFL career. Jacksonville selected Michael Cheever at No. 60 and later moved No. 99 for more picks. Both teams created useful pieces, but Miami's larger package produced the better direct return.
Jacksonville Jaguars received Pete Mitchell. Jacksonville received Pete Mitchell, who became a productive multi-season receiving tight end and supplied meaningful offensive value for the young franchise. Its B grade reflects the value of that return relative to what Miami Dolphins received. The grade remains tied to documented value for the acquiring club, without assigning credit for unresolved or hypothetical downstream consideration.
Cleveland Browns received 1995 5th round pick (136th overall, Tau Pupua); 1996 6th round pick (186th overall; subsequently traded by Cleveland) in the 1995-04-23 exchange with Jacksonville Jaguars. Tau Pupua did not produce a meaningful Browns return, while Cleveland later moved the future sixth-round selection rather than converting it directly into the player sometimes attached to the pick chain. The direct package is the basis for the hindsight grade, with later movement of an acquired selection treated separately. That supports Even Trade.
Jacksonville received 1995 picks No. 169 and No. 219 from Philadelphia, using them on Ryan Christopherson and Curtis Marsh. The Jaguars gave up three later selections, Nos. 208, 210 and 248. The five-pick exchange gave Jacksonville the higher individual selections, but the realized careers did not create enough separation for a decisive hindsight advantage.
Expansion Jacksonville paid four picks to move from No. 31 to No. 19 and selected running back James Stewart. Stewart became a productive NFL starter, rushing for 5,841 career yards and 48 touchdowns. Kansas City's four-player draft return produced little: first-round tackle Trezelle Jenkins played nine games, Troy Dumas played 16, and Steve Stenstrom made only 10 career quarterback starts. Jacksonville won the talent outcome.
Jacksonville moved down seven spots in the second round, sending No. 33 to the Jets for Nos. 40 and 71. New York selected guard Matt O'Dwyer, who became a four-year Jets starter. Jacksonville landed tackle Brian DeMarco and safety Chris Hudson; together they supplied 84 starts for the Jaguars. Both sides found real starters, but Jacksonville created more team-specific value from two selections.
Jacksonville acquired quarterback Mark Brunell from Green Bay for third- and fifth-round picks in 1995. Brunell became the first great quarterback in Jaguars history, made three Pro Bowls and led Jacksonville to four playoff appearances and two AFC Championship Games. Green Bay received real value: the third-round pick became long-time fullback William Henderson, with Travis Jervey added in the fifth. The Packers did well, but the Jaguars found a franchise quarterback for mid-round capital.
