Trading up for Odunze is my favorite option by far. He's incredible.

After that, I am absolutely ok with pick swapping 1sts with the 49ers for Aiyuk. He's that good.

Right now, the Jags don't have an outside WR that other teams worry about. Gabe Davis and Zay Jones aren't good route runners and have trouble separating.

I don't want another 1-year rental, like we had with Ridley.  So if we somehow make a reasonable trade for Aiyuk, we would have to sign him to new contract as part of the deal.  But we still have to sign Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence.   So if we sign Aiyuk to the contract that he would undoubtedly demand, then in a year or two, we'd have to start dismantling the team to get back under the cap.  

If I was Shad Khan, before I approved such a move, I would ask Baalke to show me how we fit all these huge contracts under the cap, and I would tell him to show me a cap projection for the coming seasons.
