Baltimore Ravens Win
Summary: Jacksonville traded the 86th pick (Marshal Yanda) to Baltimore and received three picks: Adam Podlesh (101st, punter), Derek Landri (166th), and a 6th-round pick. Analysis: On the surface, moving down for extra picks looks fine. In reality, this is one of Jacksonville's costliest undervaluation mistakes. Marshal Yanda became arguably the best offensive guard of his generation — a 9-time Pro Bowler who played at an All-Pro level for 13 seasons. Jacksonville got a punter and two fringe players. This was not a C+ trade; it was a quiet catastrophe in hindsight. Grade revised to D+. Because Yanda became a Hall-of-Fame-caliber guard, this belongs among the franchise's major missed-value trades.
