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.

The more important question is. Do you trust Baalke to make that decision? If you're handing over a future first round selection in addition to some "filler". That's a huge gamble. 

You're having to trust a talent evaluator and general manager that has never landed a WR in any draft that had any major impact or lasting impressions in the NFL. 

I did say filler because I wasn't sure what may be fair at the time and I doubt if a 1st for 1st trade has every happened straight up. More likely it would be likely Eagles send 4th, Jags send 5th, or 5th for 6th, etc. 

I do get if you're like "I just don't trust our scouts or Baalke to make this call and get it right", but I feel it should at least be in play. But for this franchise to eventually win, they have to eventually get better at draft talent evaluation. If you have zero confidence to make this call, why would you expect anything better at #33 or other picks?
