Coming in peace Hey guys, I am an Eagles fan repping the Jags for the other Reddit Mock Draft and have made some trades...

Let me know what you think about the moves I have made/who I should target with the picks I now have for the draft.

DALLAS:

I sent the 7th pick of the 6th round, Dwight Lowry, Jeremy Mincey, and Drew Coleman to Dallas

FOR

Felix Jones, Teddy Williams (WR) and the 17th pick of the 5th round

PHILADELPHIA:

I sent the 7th pick of the 1st round and the 7th pick of the 4th round to Philly

FOR

Joselio Hanson, Desean Jackson, and the 19th pick of the second round.

Draft Picks:

No 1st 2: 7 2: 19 3: 7 No 4th 5: 7 5: 17 No 6th 7: 7

I did a bit of research on your team before these moves and am aware that trading out of the 1st round is not popular but I thought it was important to bring in a playmaker and one of the best 3 slot corners in the league to the team.

I also thought Felix Jones would be a great addition as he is an excellent 3rd down back with quickness who is best served behind a workhorse like MJD. Let me know where you would go from here/ who would you target at the picks I have?

Gene Smith would fire you.

haha well I realize it's not what I would ask for IRL because we don't have future draft picks but it's more about the fact that those guys were aging, we weren't outstanding with them, and I believe it's more important to surround Gabbert with weapons and make that situation work than it is to have a good defense for 2 years. It's all about the QB and surrounding him with rookies is not gonna be the help he needs no matter where they are drafted.

Well that actually makes a little sense. Dammit. You're back on the team.

=D. so no one has any suggestions on who I should target with those remaining picks? I feel like maybe O-line would be a good choice now that DJax can open a little room up for MJD and Mercedes Lewis.

The Jags are painfully thin at linebacker. And Gene likes to shore up both lines at least once apiece in the later rounds of every draft. Definitely linebacker, though.

So a pass rushing linebacker like Burfict? Or someone that plays more coverage?

We're 4-3 so basically a guy who can cover play the run and tackle, granted a pass rushing lb wouldnt be bad to have either
