Rumor has it that Jacksonville Jaguars might trade wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. to move up into the bottom of the first round for Thursday's NFL. Draft. Pro football talks Mike Floreo dropped this one, saying the team could use Thomas' bait in a deal. About a month back, Jaguars' general manager James Glassdone shut down similar talk hard. He called those rumors straight up fraudulent and stressed. Thomas is key to their passing game momentum after a strong finish last season. Fans and analysts are scratching their heads because it just doesn't add up. The Jags want to win now with a young, cheap contract star who hit 1,000 yards recently, way better value than trading for a rookie in this week, receiver class. Thomas stepped up big down the stretch, sparking nine wins in their last 10 games while talk corner shadowed him, trading him would gut the offense, especially when they need
