NFL Trade Verdict

Jacksonville Jaguars Win

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.

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. Washington moved up 10 spots in Round 3 for Rashad Bauman, paying a 4th-round pick to do so. Bauman was not a long-term contributor; the pick cost was modest but the return didn't justify it. A mild overpay for Washington.
