Jaguars News: Brandon Aiyuk trade continues to grow
[Nehemiah] Pritchett is a long, lean corner that looks well suited to a role in press coverage at the next level. At 6’1” and 190lbs, perhaps you’d like a little more meat on the bone – and I would suggest his career begins as a slot corner as he acclimates to the physicality the NFL brings. But instincts, athleticism and feistiness are a hallmark of his game. If the ball is in the air, Pritchett will be at the catch point fighting tooth and nail to disrupt the pass.
Assuming no first-round trade is made, Jacksonville will have to choose between filling its biggest need (and selecting the best cornerback available) or finding plus value (whether that’s a wide receiver or a trench player).
That’s not our decision to make, but you can let us know what decision you would make in Jacksonville’s shoes thanks to our Survey Reacts question.
I expect them to select a cornerback in Round 1, and I would be surprised if they trade up more than a selection or two for that player. … I also wouldn’t be surprised to see them select a second corner and a defensive lineman somewhere relatively early.
The Jaguars have already decided that Lawrence is going to be their quarterback for the long term and have opened up negotiations with him on a deal. The supporting cast is decent, but the Jaguars don’t have a top dog who can take games over — and they have the opportunity to pair Lawrence with one. Moving into the top three or four picks to acquire Harrison seems like a tough task. The latter half of the top-10 is probably more feasible.
Based on what I’m hearing from knowledgeable sources inside the building and from high-ranking personnel executives and coaches around the league, don’t rule out a deal that would send Brock Purdy’s favorite target to another team.
… There is a sense among other high-ranking personnel executives around the league that Aiyuk, as one such executive put it, “is available for the right price.” To this point, the 49ers have asked for a 2024 first-round pick. “They want too much,” said the executive, whose team is in the market for a receiver.
