The Baltimore Ravens sent shockwaves across the NFL when they acquired Maxx Crosby in exchange for two first-round picks. In the aftermath of the blockbuster trade, the news broke that the Jacksonville Jaguars also tried to land the five-time Pro Bowl nod. Looking back, though, it's easy to see why their bid came up short.
The Jags gave up their 2026 first-round pick as part of the package to trade up for two-way star Travis Hunter last year. Without it, they were going to have trouble competing with Baltimore or any other potential suitors.
