In that scenario, It would seem like the Eagles would be more like open to trading one of their 3 first round picks for a first round pick in a future year, if only to have more flexibility/picks if they want to trade up for a QB in the 2023 draft or other manuveuring.

So basically my question is would it make sense for the Jags to trade say a 2023 1st round pick and some filler for one of the Eagles first round picks this year? I am assuming the only reason to do this would because there a guy in the middle of the round the Jags would be targeting.

To me it makes sense because the Jags need to get more young talent around T-Law quickly, and getting a good player a year earlier would help with that.

For me, I say no. I hate trading future picks and I would only trade a first round pick in order to get a QB, which we already have. You never know what future drafts will look like. What if we traded that pick to move up in this draft, but the pick we would've had in 2023 could've netted us a true superstar? 

I'd assume if we did trade back up into the mid to latter part of this draft, it would be for a WR. IMO, there is no need to do that. There may not be a Ja'Marr Chase type WR in this draft, but the class is very, very deep. Maybe a guy like Chris Olave or Jahan Dotson falls to #33 and even if they don't, I'd easily take David Bell there. No one is talking about him and he's been one of the best, most consistent WR's in all of college football for the last 3 years. We'll get a good WR, if we stay put.

I normally agree with you. I would only do it if there was a player at say 15/16/19 that I didn't expect, and their grading at a level that is at least on par with the best drafted players at that position every year. Basically this would be draft day trade that happens on the fly.

The other reason I'm considering this is that 6 wins normally gets you a pick between 8-12. I know we all are tired of being optimistic about the team and all, but next years schedule switches out the NFC West  + Falcons for the NFC East + Detroit. 

If T-Law is anything close to what he is supposed to be, with a better offensive system and scheme, the Jags have to be able to win 6 games right? True there have been superstars drafted in that range, but the reason for being drafted in that 8-12 range is because they were not a sure bet. And there have also definitely been superstars that fall to into the 15-19 range.
