NFL Trade Verdict

Jacksonville Jaguars Win

Summary: Jacksonville moved up 9 spots in Round 2 (70th to 61st) to select WR Allen Robinson, giving San Francisco a 5th-round pick (Aaron Lynch, 150th). Analysis: Robinson had an elite breakout season in 2015 (1,400 yards, 14 TDs, Pro Bowl) and was the best receiver in Jacksonville during his tenure. Moving up 9 spots in Round 2 for an extra 5th is a minimal cost for a player who became one of the better receivers in franchise history. A grade is fully justified. This is the best Jacksonville draft-day trade of the 2010s not named Trevor Lawrence.

Trade Analysis

Summary: Jacksonville moved up 9 spots in Round 2 (70th to 61st) to select WR Allen Robinson, giving San Francisco a 5th-round pick (Aaron Lynch, 150th). Analysis: Robinson had an elite breakout season in 2015 (1,400 yards, 14 TDs, Pro Bowl) and was the best receiver in Jacksonville during his tenure. Moving up 9 spots in Round 2 for an extra 5th is a minimal cost for a player who became one of the better receivers in franchise history. A grade is fully justified. This is the best Jacksonville draft-day trade of the 2010s not named Trevor Lawrence. San Francisco moved down 9 spots and added a 5th-round pick (Aaron Lynch, who had a productive pass-rushing career). The 49ers lost the considerably more valuable player in Robinson but received reasonable structural compensation. Grade: C-
