Buffalo Bills Win
Summary: Jacksonville traded a 5th-round pick (Wyatt Teller, 166th) to Buffalo for DT Marcell Dareus during the 2017 playoff push. Analysis: Dareus was a multiple Pro Bowl interior defender who gave Jacksonville a legitimate run-stuffing presence. His contract was enormous and unsustainable long-term, but for a team with Super Bowl aspirations, the short-term football sense was sound. Teller became a Pro Bowl guard for Cleveland — a notable outcome from that 5th-round pick. C+ is too generous given that Jacksonville paid a pick that became a Pro Bowler for a short rental. Grade revised to C.
