WR Jakobi Meyers, JAX (3 Viewers)

[menobrown]

OK some quick winners and losers off the top of my head:

Winners

• Meyers -- not a huge upgrade, but TLaw >>> 2025 Geno (and Cohen >>> Chip Kelly)
• Bowers -- not that he needed a boost, but may return to 2024-level target shares
• Other LV WRs -- I guess Tucker? Maybe this opens things up for Besch/Thornton to finally emerge? I'll admit I have paid very little attention to the back of the Raiders WR depth chart. Certainly no obvious pickups; anyone you do get will likely just be a dart throw on a bad offense

Losers

• BTJ -- not only competition for target share, but possible indication his injury is worse than what we've heard so far
• Washington -- Probably kills his chance of being their WR1 (in terms of target share). On the other hand, he seems like a classic case of a guy who can do well if he's not the defense's focus, but can't hold up if they assign their CB1 or gameplan around him

Don't think this significantly moves the needle for TLaw, Geno, or either team's RBs

It could also mean that Hunter's injury is as serious as many feared and that he isn't coming back when eligible.

Tweet below, my commentary is if he does come back healthy he's probably the biggest loser of the trade.

https://x.com/search?q=hunter&src=typed_query&f=live&pf=on

Travis Hunter is not expected to be out long-term for the #Jaguars, though he is out at least 3 more games. He'll be back to contribute in the pass game, as well.

Could be, although if he comes back healthy and they decide they want to see what they have in their No. 2 overall pick for whom they gave up a crap ton of draft capital, I don't think Jakobi Meyers is going to be the thing that stands in his way

It's not a could be to me. He simply won't be playing in 2 WR sets so long as Thomas and Meyer are healthy and with the way Parker Washington is playing he may not own the slot role either. He was drafted as a two way player. Got hurt. Will probably return and play a lot more defense with a niche role on offense unless someone gets hurt.

I fully admit to not knowing much about the inner workings of the Jags, but I would be surprised if that were their thought process. You don't trade up to No. 2 to draft a CB

Exactly. I know it’s fun to clown on the Jags, and they deserve it a lot of the time.

But dude was the Heisman Trophy winner; the new regime burned value draft capital to go up and get him and have consistently said Hunter will be a 2-way player, not a DB with some Kavonte Turpin plays drawn up for him

Coen has been consistent in saying they’ll put their best 11 players on the field. I’m guessing that they believe the Heisman Trophy winning #2 pick is one if the best 11.

Finally, the trade for Meyers demonstrates the 5-3 team’s commitment to winning now and making the playoffs and that almost certainly includes Hunter on offense when he is healthy.

 

[Judge Smails]

At least Jakobi runs the routes Trevor can actually complete. Beyond that I don’t know.

 

[menobrown]

Hunter is a two player.

You don't give up a 4 and 6 for a one year rental you don't plan to play all the time.

Thomas and Meyer will be the two primary WR's.

 

[fatness]

I'll kiss every cows butt in Minnesota if Meyers isn't traded to the Steelers.

I suppose I have to pucker up and go buy some chapstick.

[LawFitz]

You don't give up a 4 and 6 for a one year rental

They did not give up a 4 and a 6 for Jakobi. Gave up a 4, rec'd a 6, and set up to receive a mid-round comp pick in 2027 when Jakobi leaves this offseason. I don't think the trade comp will dictate playing time.

Ok thanks for clarification but everything else I said stands. He and Thomas will own the 2 WR sets.

My bad, but I could've sworn this was originally reported as a pick swap. Great news for the Raiders!

Colts just gave up two 1sts for a CB.

He couldn't get it going with Geno. I doubt he gets it going with TL.

He's 28 and just seems like he's slowing down a bit.

Thomas is not healthy. Bet ya his ankle has him missing a few games.

I wouldn't drop Parker Washington. TL trust him and already had good chemistry with him..
Meyers will need a few weeks to get acclimated nearn playbook.
Him and TL might not be in the same page for a while.

Thomas is not 100% healthy but not sure he'll miss time. Either way, he'll beat Hunter back which was the point of what I was saying.

Agree on not dropping Parker now, but maybe in a few weeks, will see how it all goes.

One thing that could help Jakobi get up to speed is his WR coach with the Raiders, Edgar Bennett, is now the WR coach with the Jags. That won't really help his timing with Trevor, but should help in the grand scheme of things.

So if you had your choice between Washington and Meyers you would pick Washington? I already have BTJ. I also have Meyers who I had grabbed last week just in chance he was traded. If he had not been traded I was going to actually drop him tonight for Washington. I agree I expect it to take at least a couple of weeks to get up to speed. I was not planning on playing any Jax receiver this week against Houston.

 

[menobrown]

So if you had your choice between Washington and Meyers you would pick Washington?

Not necessarily.

I'd rather have Parker the next few weeks, Jakobi for later.

So it's team specific. Some teams of mine most of the bye week pain is over. I'd rather have Jakobi. A lot of my teams are super heavy on week 10 bye's for stud WR's and I need Parker on those teams.

Understood. Thanks for the detailed response.

 

[Hendo]

Trevor Lawrence is an incredibly sad excuse of a QB, if anything I’d view this as a downgrade

 

[Chaka]

He couldn't get it going with Geno. I doubt he gets it going with TL.

He's 28 and just seems like he's slowing down a bit.

I don't think he's slowing down but I have similar concerns about Lawrence.

 

[KellysHeroes]

Jags will have quite the offense when Hunter and Strange return

Jags will have quite the offense when Hunter and Strange return

Why? Did they trade for a new QB?

Meyers is on waivers in my league and I’m not interested at all.

This had NOTHING to do with Jakobi. Geno and that offense are train wrecks. Outside of one game with Tucker he only looks to throw to TE’s.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Jacksonville Jaguars players react to Jakobi Meyers trade, 'he's a great player'​

It didn't take long for Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence to get an inside scoop on what his newest wide receiver is like.

The Jaguars traded a fourth and sixth-round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders for receiver Jakobi Meyers just ahead of the NFL's trade deadline Tuesday. Now, he's slated to catch passes from Lawrence, and a phone call from a familiar name eased the franchise QB's mind instantly.

"I don’t know him super well, but [49ers QB] Mac Jones actually texted me when we got him, I guess it was yesterday. He texted me and said, ‘You’re going to love him. One of my favorite guys I’ve played with,'" Lawrence recalled when asked Wednesday about his first impression of Meyers.

Jones played for Jacksonville last season, growing a close relationship with Lawrence. Now, he's set to play with one of Jones' favorite receivers. Jones played with Meyers for two seasons with the New England Patriots (2021-22). During that time, Meyers caught 150 passes for 1,670 yards and eight touchdowns. He was the team's best wideout before joining the Raiders in 2023.

"So, he said great things about him, and I talked to Jakobi about that today ... So just hearing Mac say that, and I’ve heard a lot of really positive things about him as a person, and I’ve watched him play a good bit, and I’ve always really liked his game and the way he plays, and he’s a great player," Lawrence continued.

Lawrence is excited to help bring Meyers up to speed. He cautioned that too much extra physical work could be more detrimental than it is helpful, but the two will find a balance and key in on the mental side of things.

"But as far as talking through stuff, the conversation's been pretty consistent throughout the day. And then today we're going to spend some time together too, going through some things and just getting on the same page," Lawrnece said, adding that he felt Meyers "looked great" during his first practice with Jacksonville.

Jaguars players react to Jakobi Meyers trade, 'Want to see him get touchdowns'​

For Jaguars players, seeing the team continue to improve through the course of a season is exciting. Jacksonville is 5-3 and squarely in the mix for the AFC South division title, and is likely to make the postseason if it continues on its current trajectory.

So, seeing the team acquire Meyers as they are in the thick of the hunt can be special, especially if Meyers can bring the team some touchdowns.

"Oh yeah, I want to see him get some touchdowns, run the ball, block. From what I've seen today, he looks like he's healthy and ready to contribute any way he can," Jaguars defensive end Josh Hines-Allen said in the locker room Wednesday.

Hines-Allen said the team is adding Meyers at "a perfect time," due to the injuries Jacksonville has seen pile up at the receiver position in recent weeks. Another factor is that Meyers has been in big-time games, primarily during his time in New England, when the team reached the postseason in 2019, Tom Brady's final year with the Patriots.

"He's a dependable target [who] Trevor can rely on. Regardless of him being new or whatever, he's gonna be a true pros pro and come in ready to play this Sunday," Allen added.

Jaguars cornerback Greg Newsome knows what a whirlwind it is for Meyers to get traded in the middle of the season. His first reaction?

"I was like, 'wow, we just played this man. Now you're on my team," Newsome said with a laugh when asked about Meyers in the locker room on Wednesday.

"What I've seen out of him, like I said, he reminds me in that same boat of a guy like [Lions receiver] Amon-Ra [St. Brown]. I respect guys like him, [a] guy that's physical, that will get in there and block, do the dirty work and still go out there and catch a lot of footballs. He's a guy who can run the entire route tree," Newsome added


Newsome also made note of something Jaguars general manager James Gladstone thought about when acquiring Meyers: He doesn't drop the ball.

Meyers has 11 drops in 98 games played and has never dropped the ball more than twice in any given season since entering the NFL in 2019.

"That tells you enough of what he's capable of doing. It was definitely fun to compete against him, but now it's gonna be even better with him being on the same team," said Newsome.

This part has me concerned:

"He cautioned that too much extra physical work could be more detrimental than it is helpful"

Meyers is about to find out just how much "extra physical work" Lawrence is gonna put him through. DBs will be teeing off on Meyers due to Dr. Lawrence's hospital balls.

Good luck Jakobi! May you stay healthy and unbroken.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

At least Jakobi runs the routes Trevor can actually complete. Beyond that I don’t know.

I didn't realize Jakobi was an EMT in his spare time.

But did you know he was a law firm?

 

[Bronco Billy]

Enough with the “hospital ball” BS over and over and over again. Funny, I don’t hear the same people talk about “suicide routes” when BTJ keeps running his routes through zones instead of sitting down in a hole like experienced knowledgeable WRs do. I’ve seen JAX WRs doing that repeatedly and that will get a WR destroyed by a DB every bit as much, if not more, than a poorly thrown pass.

For a receiver to sit down in zone coverage requires a QB who has the ability to throw over the first line of coverage and underneath the second. Meaning touch. TLaw has zero touch. He just throws high line drives. So yes. Hospital balls

So let me make sure I get your position correct:

BTJ puts himself at risk not because he can’t diagnose basic coverage and instead keeps running across zones but rather because TLaw throws too hard?
