Trade for RB Carlos Hyde in exchange for 2019 5th Rd Pick

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a long-term answer at the running back position with their former first-round pick, Leonard Fournette. Unfortunately, his Sophomore season in the NFL is not matching the hype from year one all thanks to a damaged hamstring that doesn’t seem to be getting any better.

The Jaguars needed help at running back, and they took advantage of the Cleveland Browns, who needed to get rid of a running back in order to feel like they weren’t distracted with having two solid running backs on board.

Carlos Hyde is a decent running back. He’s nothing over-the-top, but he definitely fills a need for the Jaguars offense. Unfortunatley at this point, the Jaguars season is just crumbling by the week. For a win-now type of move, the Jags did a good job. But at this point, it doesn’t really matter much.

Grade: C+
