5 wide receivers not named Amari Cooper the Jaguars could trade for

No. 3 wide receiver the Jaguars could trade for – DK Metcalf.

DK Metcalf is the perfect example there’s nothing certain when it comes to the NFL Draft and a player’s readiness is always variable. If it weren’t for the Seattle Seahawks, the Ole Miss product could have slid to the third round. Looking back, all 32 NFL teams — the Hawks included — look foolish for passing on Metcalf and if they knew he would have success right off the bat, he would have been a top 10, even 5 pick in 2019.

The Jaguars made the right call when they chose outside linebacker Josh Allen seventh overall that year but they could have selected Metcalf instead of right tackle Jawaan Taylor with the 35th overall pick. The wide receiver ended up being snagged by Seattle 64th overall, the very last selection of the second round.

Of course, hindsight is 20/20 and the Jaguars can’t dwell in the past for passing on a Pro Bowl wide receiver. What they can do is pick up the phone, call the Seahawks and ask if Metcalf is available, and he might very well be.

There are no reports indicating the Seahawks plan to trade Metcalf but that shouldn’t stop the Jags, or any other team for that matter, from inquiring. Who knows, maybe Jacksonville makes an offer the Hawks can’t resist and manage to acquire the wide receiver, which would be an absolute coup for a team that needs to get his young quarterback as many weapons as possible.
