For fun, if such a trade happened, who would you take at 1-18?  Does such a trade scenario make sense from a Jag's perspective?

I'd take the deal immediately given Allen's middling production. Maybe then bundle both first rounders to move up and grab Tim Anderson, Myles Murphy, or Tyree Wilson. They'd all be cheaper and likely provide better production in time. Tyree Wilson and Travon Walker would be a very versatile, athletic duo. One thing I wouldn't do is use 1/18 to force draft Allen's replacement ala Caldwell's Chaisson debacle.

I’d take that deal as well and switch to a 4-3 base. Most teams play a version of a 4-2-5 most of the time anyway.

Trade both 1st rounders down slightly and draft a tackle like Harrison or one of the Jones’ and Avila. RT and LG need to be addressed this year and next year RG will need to be. Now is as good a time as any to build a line for Trevor.

You’re right however, not gonna happen I wouldn’t think.
