By Larry Brake
The Jacksonville Jaguars could possibly acquire New England’s first round pick in the draft. Allen Hurns should be the one that Jacksonville deals away.
News broke that the New England Patriots made an offer to the New Orleans Saints. The Patriots want a wide receiver. Jacksonville has a receiver that New England could acquire in a trade.
The Patriots were willing to give up the number 32 overall selection. Jacksonville should jump at the opportunity to have three draft picks in the first two rounds. The question is, which receiver should the Jacksonville Jaguars give up?
Currently, the Jaguars have ten receivers on their roster. There are a couple of receivers that would not entice the Patriots to deal. However, there are three that might make that trade happen.
Allen Robinson is the number one receiver for the Jaguars. He has good size at 6’3 and 211 lbs. He would be a great target for Tom Brady. Jacksonville needs to keep Robinson.

Marqise Lee had a breakout season in 2016. He would fit well as the Patriots slot receiver. He is almost the same guy as Brandin Cooks, size wise. Lee is six foot and 196 lbs and Cooks is 5’10 and 189 pounds. The Jaguars should keep Lee.
Allen Hurns is the guy that Jacksonville sends to New England. Physically, he has the size. He had a break out year in 2015. Hurns is the receiver that the Jaguars move to acquire the 32nd overall pick.
Who Should The Jaguars Acquire With The 32nd Pick?
First, Jacksonville could target Christian McCaffrey. He can play running back or slot receiver in the Air Coryell offense. Jacksonville needs to address the running back position.
Next, the Jaguars could draft a cornerback unless they sign one in free agency. Jalen Ramsey is able to lock down top NFL receivers. If he is still there, Jabrill Peppers is the guy. He is an a multi-position player able to complement Ramsey.
Most of all, to gain another draft pick will help upgrade Jacksonville’s roster. Whether its on offense or defense, huge lineman are always available. The key is selecting the right one.
Jacksonville’s future success is going to be determined by how they evaluate talent. Trading Allen Hurns might sound crazy but Jacksonville should leave no stone unturned. Winning games is job number one and assets can be traded if Jacksonville has the opportunity to get better.
