Quote:Like I said I would give up a 2nd rounder this year or our 1st rounder next year, but that's all. Almost as much as the Julio trade for a franchise QB is well worth it to me, but I agree the RG3 deal is probably never worth it. 

 

However, I think the biggest problem with those two deals is the type of teams those two are. Aging rosters, very little depth, unhealthy salary cap situations...the whole regression shebang. Then throw away multiple draft picks on top of that, nope. I think a young team with decent depth and a healthy salary can pull off trade ups from time to time and do fine. 

 

So you think a Julio Jones deal would be OK for the Jaguars but not the Falcons? Sorry, but I don't see your logic there. The Falcons were #1 in the NFC with Julio Jones on the roster. Atlanta was #27 in the draft that year, which means they needed very little to upgrade their offense and needed to give up a lot of picks to move up to #6. I don't understand where you get aging roster, very little depth, and regression from.

 

The Jaguars, on the other paw, can't afford to trade that many picks away for one player because they need to upgrade a lot of positions and doing that requires getting, not losing, more draft picks. Salary cap situations have nothing to do with it.
