Which brings up the point that it would have to be a pretty good deal to trade down.  This year, the Jags have to consider it if someone falls in love with a QB and wants to leapfrog Denver or someone else to get him.  I like Hockenson and all, and he's a good fit, but it's not the end of the draft if we don't land him.  And as I've noted in another thread, Jax has done well in the 2nd round.

So Jax gives up #7, still gets a top 15 pick from Cincy, Miami, or Washington, and swaps our latter 3rd round pick for the other team's 2nd?  Yeah, I'd probably take that, depending on who is still on the board.
