His combination of size , speed and proven production is an exciting addition to the Jaguars receivers room. Not only did the Jaguars get a receiver they wanted, they also got another draft pick this year and two more next year.I love the trade back and getting three additional draft picks, especially the third-rounder next year. That’s huge. I wouldn’t have graded this as high if Thomas had gone at 17 though.
