We may not get one of the premier WR 's in such a deal, but we probably could get someone much better than what we end up with in free agency. We'd still have a first round pick, just lower and we could focus on drafting the BAP in each round instead of focusing on drafting a WR in round 2. I don't know exactly which WR I would target in such a deal though.

There's really nothing out there. Cooper Kupp from the Rams would be great but they traded away the farm this year to swing for the fences.

DaVante Adams is hitting the market. Not sure if Green Bay is going to tag him, if that's even possible, but, you maybe have a slim to none shot at him.

Tyreek Hill is too important in Kansas City.

Chris Godwin is in the market. Off injury.

Justin Jefferson [should have been drafted over Chaisson] is going nowhere.

The only other player is D.K Metcalf, and, again, just like the Rams. They don't have any first round picks.

They're going to have to invest in a collective group via free agency. Engineer a trade and get a speciality receiver. Or, as I said in other threads. Depending on the next offensive system and coach?

The TE position maybe becomes more heavily involved. Thus, taking pressure off the WR needs.

The big issue is value. The Jaguars are going to have the #1 pick. Either the team we trade with would also need a very high pick to exchange, or they're need to be giving up a real blue-chip guy on the level of Kupp or Justin Jefferson along with their low or middle first round pick (and like you said, a lot of teams don't even have the pick, still). Not to mention there aren't any guys at the top that are going to make many teams desperate to move up. I just can't see any team trading us their young blue chip receiver and a first round pick. The Jaguars are probably just going to have to stay and make a pick, it just had better not be another [BLEEP] one.
