They could recoup a Day 2 draft pick and give more opportunities to players drafted by the current regime, like Josh Cameron and CJ Williams, without really missing a beat. The shine of Thomas' first-round pedigree and first-year success will only last so long. The fact that he still has multiple cheap seasons on his rookie contract is as much a reason for another club to acquire him as it is for the Jaguars to keep him.

NeutralValue

Thomas could fetch a Day 2 pick now, but trade value risks evaporating if Jaguars hold.

The source argues that while trading Thomas would represent selling low on a first-round pick with first-year success, his trade value might evaporate entirely if the Jaguars continue to hold. The source estimates the Jaguars could recoup a Day 2 draft pick in a trade, and notes that several playoff contenders already need receiver depth (Rams, Chiefs, Patriots, 49ers). The fact that Thomas still has multiple cheap seasons remaining on his rookie contract makes him attractive to acquiring teams.
