Okay, now it’s time to evaluate the trades and see if the Trader Jon title has served him well.
Just a reminder of the PFF Grading Scale: Each player is given a grade of -2 to +2 in 0.5 increments on a given play with 0 generally being the average or “expected” grade.
We will use the same grading scale for these trades.
Let’s GO!
2016
The Kings Ransom Trade – The Titans trade the first overall pick for a king's ransom of picks over two years. The trade eventually worked out to Jared Goff for Jack Conklin, Austin Johnson, Derrick Henry, Corey Davis and Jonnu Smith. To say the Titans won this would be an understatement.
+2
Exchanged 4th round picks with the Eagles for Demarco Murray. In exchange for essentially nothing, Murray would help change the culture in the locker room and lead the AFC in rushing yards that year.
+2
Traded Dorial Green-Beckham to Eagles for Dennis Kelly. We all know how that worked out.
+2
2017
Traded a 4th round pick to the Patriots to move up in the 3rd and select Taywan Taylor. Taylor never was the productive player we hoped for, but wasn’t terrible.
-0.5
Traded a 6th round pick to the Eagles to move up in the 5th to select Jayon Brown. Brown immediately contributed and was a full time starter soon thereafter.
+1.5
2018
Traded a 4th round pick to the Ravens to move up in the 1st and select Rashaan Evans. Evans has been a good starter for us.
0
Traded a 3rd round pick to the Raiders to move up in the 2nd and select Harold Landry. Landry was a starter immediately and has been a strong contributor. A 3rd was pretty steep though.
+0.5
Traded a 6th round pick to the Ravens for Kamalei Correa. A big contributor in our run to the AFC Championship game, Correas 7 sacks in 2019 were well worth the 6th.
+1
2019
Traded a 4th round pick and a 7th round pick for Ryan Tannehill and a 6th round pick that would turn into David Long Jr. Do I even have to say it?
+2
Traded a 4th and a 5th for a 4th and a 5th with the Jets to move up in the 4th and select Amani Hooker. Hooker has been a talented starter caliber player that cost us essentially nothing to move up and get.
+1
2020
Traded Jurrell Casey to Denver for a 7th round pick. Saved cap space but it was just blaaaarrrrrg.
-1
Traded 6th round pick to the Chargers for Desmond King. King played well for us.
+0.5
2021
Traded Isaiah Wilson to the Dolphins for a 7th more or less, dumping Wilsons salary off our books and ridding us of a major distraction.
