Quote:Q uestion for those of us against the idea of trading for AP.


What if AP was part of the compensation for a trade down with Minnesota, (I.e. Vikings send us 11, a 3rd round pick, and AP for the 3rd overall pick), instead of sending a pick straight up for him?


Would you be more open to the idea of trading for him?

I'd be open to that, but trading a pick straight up for him isn't something I'd be on board with.  AP is no doubt a great player.  But he's 30 years old.  Even if the Jags get 4 years out of him, that's all they'll get.  I'd much prefer getting an extra first than AP.  

 

Now if we knew Blake Bortles was going to have an amazing second year, and blow everyone's minds and get up to the level of Andrew Luck -- then I'd say go for it.
