I love that Yeldon bust 1 long TD run and now he's worth a 3rd round pick lol. TJ has literally done nothing else this year because he's been inactive every week. By this logic, every player that has a long TD run in any given game should be able to be traded for a 3rd rounder. No one is giving us a pick for Yeldon. Hes better off being added depth for us in case we find ourselves in a crunch.

This is by far the best option.
Eli Manning are you joking? Bortles leads the #1 AFC jaguars. To bad they kneel and no one watches or goes to the games, cause they hate America.

Who are you calling Eli Manning?
The only time Jacksonville was ever #1 in the AFC was the turn of the century.
Only QB's I would trade for would be Rivers (cheap) or Cousins (not so cheap)

No thank you. He's no better than Bortles at this point. I wouldn't want to give a second rounder away for an aging QB.
FBT said it best. No help at QB coming this year. Why? Cause 1 week is not long enough to learn a new system.

That's not true.
They were tied for #1 after Week 1 of this season.
If someone offered me a 4th for Yeldon I'd take it.
Don't mind keeping him though as I still think he can be effective. This offseason I'd aim to get a Theo Riddick/Duke Johnson style back.
I don't see the Jags trading players for picks but I can see it the other way around.
A 6th rounder for Ebron? Zach Miller? I'd do that. Sometimes a new situation is all a player needs to succeed. Ebron has burned many bridges in Detroit.
Westbrook, Hurns, Lee and Ebron. I like.

I have been his biggest critic but after last weeks game he just looked different. I know its one game but he looks improved, no jumping around behind the line, one cut go. I would rather trade Ivory honestly and if you asked me last week what would I want for Yeldon I would probalby say a 6th rounder. After last week though I would probably want a 3rd if a team wants him bad enough. I hope he is our backup going forward but I would definitely do it for a 3rd and maybe a high 4th.
After last week his value is probably the highest its been since his rookie year
One game does not make him more appealing as trade bait, especially when you look at the defense he was running against.
Don't be disappointed if the team makes no moves before the trade deadline. With injuries happening, I doubt they'll trade away a guy like Yeldon in hopes of adding draft picks. Now, if some team approached them and offered what you suggested, they'd probably pull the trigger, but I doubt seriously anything of the sort is going to happen based on one game.

Agreed. I think the Jaguars are looking at their depth at RB and they're content to ride that out. If Yeldon continues to flash when called upon, it will make the decision to part ways with Ivory an easy one. You're absolutely right that nobody is trading for Ivory and his contract.
I'd take a conditional 7th for Yeldon, but I don't expect it to happen. He's had three 100 yard games in his entire career, after being a high draft pick. Get what we can for him and find a better backup for Fournette. It shouldn't be too hard.
If anything we should be trying to add to the team instead of subtract from it.
IF we were to trade Yeldon, I'd want to try to get a pass catcher, maybe a "move TE" or WR...
but I mean, even at this point... the only position group that could really propel the team by leaps and bounds is QB...and there is no fix there.
Back OT of Yeldon. I say we keep him. 122 yards isn't really a fluke... he's pretty good... and if anything we need to be ready to move on from Ivory and probably keep Yeldon next year.

It is when it's only his 3rd 100 yard game since coming here. It sure doesn't take much to impress you guys. Yeldon is about as inconsistent as they come. He's been an absolute bust since being drafted. He has one breakout game since 2015, against the 26th ranked run defense in the NFL and people are ready to forget about what a flop he's been in the past. Unbelievable!

Who is overly impressed?
I'm just saying he's pretty good depth. LF is the workhorse... can't have a bunch of studs at every depth position lol
I'm not saying he should start or get too many more carries. He has more value as a backup than some 6th or 7th round draft pick.

It's amazing what good run blocking can do for a guy's performance. He didn't suddenly learn how to play RB.

No, he doesn't. We should constantly be looking to upgrade our weakest positions. Backup RB is a weak position, especially when it appears we will be dumping Ivory after the season. I believe we can find a much better change of pace RB in the mid to late rounds of the draft. If we could get a late round pick for Yeldon, take it and use it towards possibly drafting a 2nd QB, (as a backup plan.) I fully advocate drafting a couple of QB's in the next draft. One early and one late.
A 3rd? hahahaha you'd be lucky to get a 6th
Yeldon gets a lot of undue hate around here. Too many think that he is some terrible running back. He is the most shifty running back we have with good size to finish runs whenever he does get low. He's an above average running back.
At this point he's pretty much indispensable for a couple of reasons. Fournette is banged up and we need him to split carries with Ivory if Fournette misses any time. Next season, I could very easily see the Jags giving Ivory his walking papers because of his contract, which would make Yeldon the primary backup unless we were to highly draft another running back, which is unlikely.
