4 ways Jaguars can address lack of wide receiver talent this offseason

The Jaguars could trade down and acquire another first-round pick.

Much like the trade scenario with the Browns, this one is also about getting off the hook from the first pick while still getting Lawrence some help. The New York Jets could swing for the fences and draft Evan Neal or Ikem Ekwonu with the first selection in April.

Baalke surely must know that the Jets need to protect Zach Wilson at all costs. Their offensive line is shaky at best, so plugging a potential franchise tackle could entice them enough to pull the trigger on this while surrendering their first-round choice next year.

That’s the key for Baalke and the Jaguars to getting the Jets’ 2023 first-round choice. Again, they land a weapon for Lawrence, such as Wilson or Treylon Burks, and they continue to stockpile picks for the draft next year.

Depending on whether Baalke is back in 2023 or the Jags hire a new general manager, they’d have a treasure chest full of draft picks next year just as they do come this April.

Keep in mind as well that, by acquiring an additional first-round pick, that could also be moved around on draft day for additional help. The possibilities are endless when it comes to early-round picks and their trade values.
