Minnesota moved up for Dallas Turner, a premium defensive prospect, but Jacksonville moved down and still landed Brian Thomas Jr. while adding extra draft capital. The total return gives the Jaguars the better value.
Jacksonville Jaguars Received
- pick 2024 1st round pick (23rd overall, Brian Thomas ), 2024 5th round pick (167th overall, Keilan Robinson), 2025 3rd round pick (88th overall, Caleb Ransaw) and 2025 4th round pick (126th overall subsequently traded, Dylan Sampson)
Minnesota Vikings Received
- pick 2024 1st round pick (17th overall, Dallas Turner)
Trade Analysis
Minnesota paid aggressively to move from No. 23 to No. 17 for Dallas Turner, betting that a premium defensive prospect justified surrendering multiple additional selections. Jacksonville moved back, selected Brian Thomas Jr., and added picks that produced Keilan Robinson and Caleb Ransaw, with another asset later traded onward. Turner remains central to Minnesota's defense, but Jacksonville combined a productive first-round return with substantially greater draft volume. The full attributable package supports the Jaguars' B-plus advantage.
