NFL Trade Verdict

New York Jets Win

Summary: Jacksonville traded the 123rd pick (Kerry Rhodes) to the Jets and received the 127th (Alvin Pearman) and a 6th (Chad Owens, 185th). Analysis: Moving down 4 spots and adding an extra pick is sound draft housekeeping. Notably, Kerry Rhodes became a productive Pro Bowl safety for the Jets — Jacksonville gave up real value here. The pick math slightly favors Jacksonville but the player outcome reverses that narrative. C+ on structure; the player outcome mildly undercuts the grade.

Summary: Jacksonville traded the 123rd pick (Kerry Rhodes) to the Jets and received the 127th (Alvin Pearman) and a 6th (Chad Owens, 185th). Analysis: Moving down 4 spots and adding an extra pick is sound draft housekeeping. Notably, Kerry Rhodes became a productive Pro Bowl safety for the Jets — Jacksonville gave up real value here. The pick math slightly favors Jacksonville but the player outcome reverses that narrative. C+ on structure; the player outcome mildly undercuts the grade. New York moved up 4 spots in Round 4 to take Kerry Rhodes, who developed into a Pro Bowl safety. Giving up a 6th-rounder to move up four spots for a player of Rhodes' caliber represents solid value for the Jets. Grade: B-
