Quote:I would be fine with a 2nd round pick, most will disagree, but how many pro bowl players do you find in the second round?

 

Ironically,  the Jaguars probably have had as many, if not more Pro Bowl caliber seasons from their 2nd Round selections than their 1st Round selections.    Having said that,  there's no question that the chances of landing a Pro Bowl caliber player are greater in the 1st Round.   

 

When thinking about the situation,  a 2nd Round pick is what came to mind in terms of what the Browns would want for Alex Mack.   Where as the Jaguars probably wouldn't be willing to give up that much because of what some others in this thread mentioned:   the cost of the contract on top of the trade compensation.
