NFL Trade Verdict

Dallas Cowboys Win

Summary: Jacksonville moved from pick 92 to pick 80 in the 2006 draft, sending Dallas pick 92 and pick 125 to select linebacker Clint Ingram. Analysis: Ingram became a useful starter-caliber defender for Jacksonville, but Dallas landed Jason Hatcher at 92, and Hatcher became the best long-term player in the exchange. The move was defensible but not a major Jaguars win.

Trade Analysis

Summary: Jacksonville moved from pick 92 to pick 80 in the 2006 draft, sending Dallas pick 92 and pick 125 to select linebacker Clint Ingram. Analysis: Ingram became a useful starter-caliber defender for Jacksonville, but Dallas landed Jason Hatcher at 92, and Hatcher became the best long-term player in the exchange. The move was defensible but not a major Jaguars win. Dallas moved down 12 spots and added pick 125, ultimately landing Jason Hatcher at 92. Hatcher's later career gives Dallas credible value despite surrendering the higher slot.
