Trade Josh Oliver and your 25
thpick to move up and get your tight end (Kyle Pitts) in the early parts of the first round? Think it would take maybe that and a second? Worth it to get your generational quarterback and tight end in the draft? I think so.
Your first scenario won't happen because no team will make that trade for Oliver. Not that he's not talented, but a team won't give up first-round position for a third-round tight end who only has played four games in two seasons because of injury. If the Jaguars want to move up from No. 25 to, say, No. 10 overall for Florida tight end Kyle Pitts, it probably also would mean giving up the first selection of Round 2 – No. 33 overall – and a later-round selection. Would that be worth it? If Pitts is as good as advertised, then probably. But always remember: If the Jaguars want to move up for a player, there's always a chance the team on the other end of the phone wants that player very badly – perhaps more than they want the No. 33 overall selection and a later-round selection.
