Baltimore Ravens Win
Summary: Jacksonville moved up 2 spots in Round 2 (38th to 36th) for Myles Jack, giving Baltimore an extra 5th-round pick (Matt Judon, 146th). Analysis: Jack became a multi-year starter and one of the better linebackers of the mid-2010s Jaguars defense. Moving up 2 spots in Round 2 for an extra 5th is a defensible, minor price. The notable wrinkle: the 5th-round pick became Matt Judon, who developed into a Pro Bowl pass rusher for Baltimore and New England. B+ for acquiring Jack still works structurally, but Jacksonville gave up more long-term value than the pick position suggested.

B+ for acquiring Jack still works structurally, but Jacksonville gave up more long-term value than the pick position suggested. Baltimore moved down 2 spots and received Matt Judon (146th) — who became a Pro Bowl pass rusher — while still taking Xavien Howard at 38th. Howard became a two-time All-Pro cornerback (later traded to Miami). The Ravens' side of this trade aged extremely well. Grade: A-
