From the article

The 2024 Pro Bowler has gotten lost in the pecking order due to Parker Washington emerging as a budding star, as well as Jakobi Meyers and Brenton Strange being the second and third options in the Jaguars' offense. After nearly 1,300 yards in 2024, injuries saw that number dip to just over 700 in 2025. Through five games, he has nine catches for 105 yards. A third-round pick may be enough to secure a deal for Thomas, who would instantly become the best receiver on the team.

Thomas' Pro Bowl pedigree and 1,300-yard 2024 season justify a 3rd-round trade despite current role.
