Quote:I respect where you are coming from but here's some 7th Round picks in the last 10 years that either far out produced their draft spot or were converting into a much higher draft resource:
Matt Cassel ( eventually got traded for a high 2nd Round pick. )
Cortland Finnegan
Jay Ratliff
Ahmad Bradshaw
Julian Edelman
ok so theres some more.
But I ask you this? would you deal MoJo for a 7th? knowing that not only will it be a 7th but a late 7th because any team that trades for Mojo at this point is in the playoff hunt.

No, that wouldn't be enough to satisfy me if in the Jaguars position.
Having said that, from the perspective of Jaguars fans such as yourself that want the Jaguars above all else to land Teddy Bridgewater in the 2014 Draft, trading MJD might make the difference in the franchise getting the # 1 pick. Especially as MJD gets further away from his injuries.

No. Then again, maybe to the Bucs? :whistling:

yeah, that is a good point, too

Hah, yeah - that might be worth giving them MoJo for free.

Thank you.
One thing that stood out with the Lions in the 0-16 season 5 years ago is when WR Roy Williams was traded to the Cowboys, it clearly had an adverse affect on the Lions Offense in many of the remaining games. My gut feeling is the Lions would have avoided an 0-16 season if not for the trade. Of course, with what Jerry Jones was willing to compensate the Lions for the services for Roy Williams, it was a trade that the Lions needed to make 100 out of 100 times.

They'll probably make us give
them the 7th!

I had forgot that trade happened that same year.

While the Lions definitely were trying to win each game that season with the remaining resources the team had, the trade of Roy Williams basically ensured that the team was going to have a 14 to 16 loss season. Especially with the team's QB situation, as Jon Kitna suffered a season ending injury against the Bears back in Game # 4.
Mojo is great, but his trade value is zilch due to age, injury history, and questions of desire. He's a sprained ankle away from retired. Still, he brings the lunch pail every week, gotta love the effort but he's not as strong or fast. He'd probably love going to a playoff team and making an impact one more time. I dunno. Maybe as a good teammate he'd rather be here in Jax, even at 0-16. Somehow, he deserves a better legacy that that. Who needs a RB? Patriots? Denver?

Once again, why does he "deserve" a better legacy?
Except that Robinson has a problem holding on to the football. Fix that and I'll agree that he needs more touches...

hah - no kidding.
