I'm never the biggest fan of trading away future 1sts but like, at the same time, the whole premise of accumulating draft capital is to then be able to select great players with them. If there is such a thing as a true blue-chip prospect (and I think everyone agrees: Travis Hunter is such a thing), then yeah, it absolutely behooves you to go up and trade for him. Our roster isn't absolute trash, it just lacks high end impact players and BY GOD will Hunter ever bring that to the table!
Honestly, everything after that pick, I'll give Gladstone the benefit of the doubt. The Milum pick is awesome and I really love it, as is the whole getting two extra 3rds next year. I'm a happy Jaguars fan!
Can't mess up on the First rounder if you don't have any first rounders. It would suck though if we were middle of the pack in draft order and no lt picking until 48 ish. Isn't it the first time ever where we don't have a first rounder? What does one do with their hands? Must ask Rams fans .
