Updated (2/7) Trade Block: DT Tyson Alualu ($1,212,500) - Young DT is consistent, able to play 3-technique or 3-4 DE and will be a starter next 10 years in NFL. FB Greg Jones ($3,400,00) - Pro Bowl FB paves way for MJD. Former FSU RB can run too given the opportunity. No. 7 overall Draft Pick 3rd rounders (No. 71, No. 74, No. 94) RB Willis McGahee ($1.9 million) - Pro Bowl RB had a big year at 30. Still has plenty of gas left in the tank, can carry the load or be a good 1-2 punch. Expendable because of Jaguars' depth at the position Jaguars are looking for picks, a starting RT, a versatile LB, a CB.
I'm not ready to give up on Gabbert just yet. If it were for a higher-level draft pick, I'd consider it. But I would prefer to keep him and see what I can put around him.
Considering your draft position, I'd take a 4th. I agree, 3rd is too high for Jax. If you were in the bottom of the 3rd it might be a different story.
IMO a 4th is extremely fair considering we paid a 4th for Thigpen. It's probably a bargain actually, and if we use Madden, you'll need him. lol.
He beat NE on his shoulders before injuries etc took over IIRC. IMO he's the best 4th round starter you'll get. If he and his brains could be as successful with Buffalo's young and/or inexperienced offense as he was, then he'd probably work well with Jax.
Updated again to include RB Willis McGahee. Also, Alualu has drawn interest, but nothing super enticing yet.
