Jags luck in trading up

(This post was last modified: 05-08-2014, 12:56 PM by Jags32250.)

So i was thinking in my head today on the way to work, the jags are absolutely terrible when it comes to trading up, at least in recent years.

 

Off the top of my head:

 

Gabbert

Harvey

Cox

Blackmon

Groves

 

We were rumored to have tried to trade up for Sean Penn and Darrelle Revis, which obviously didnt work out (just our luck!)

 

So have we ever succesfully traded up for a winner?

The first year they traded up for James Stewart. He was decent.

Greg Jones was okay. Other than him I can't think of a trade up in one of the first three rounds that resulted in a player anyone would perceive positively.

We tried to trade up for Spicolli?


Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

He was, but even he was expected to be better than he turned out, no?

Yeah, I hope we don't trade up. Ever, really. Blackmon IMO was worth it because it cost so little to move up, but that sort of deal is unlikely to happen again.

I hate trading up, all the talk Gene Smith did about value he sure loved to trade away picks. That was always my biggest complaint about him until the bottom fell out.

If the Jags are trading this year, it isn't going to be in the upward direction, at least early on in the draft.

i kinda wish we were able to pull off the power move to get sean, but as you can see in walter mitty, that dude is pretty elusive. its no surprise to me that gene couldnt make that happen. cant trust a pseudo-intellectual to do anything. 

Coughlin when asked if winning will be a focus: "What the hell else is there? This is nice and dandy, but winning is what all this is about."

Maybe back to the late first round.

While on the dating scene, my wife traded up and got me.  That was a good move.

Trading up is more than often not worth it.

Trading down is where it's at though...
