Getty ImagesOn the heels of Thursday night’s initial first-round trade, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Jaguars are “pushing” for a deal to secure wide receiver Justin Blackmon out of Oklahoma State.
Jacksonville has been working the phones throughout the day on a deal to move up. Gene Smith has a history of trading up — he did last year for quarterback Blaine Gabbert — and the Jaguars’ G.M. has clearly identified Blackmon as this year’s priority.
In order to pull off Blackmon, Jacksonville will likely have to leapfrog the Rams at pick No. 6. So the Buccaneers could have a trade-down partner at No. 5, or the Vikings might have an offer to move down the board for a second time.

What happened to wanting to keep the suspense of the draft intact?
Spielman wants every single pick in the draft.
Blackmon close to “pushing” himself off a cliff if jags trade for him
I think I just figured it out. The Vikings will trade down until they have enough picks to make a whole new team.
Trade up for a wr. Fire the GM!!!!
Minnesota is in good shape now…
I hate Chris Berman and ESPN!!!!!!!!
If Spielman can pull off a trade with Jacksonville he is going beast mode
Bc that’s the move that will make them contenders
The Vikings are punking people beautifully. I bet Bill Belichek has tears of joy in his eyes as he watches someone else other then him bending people over the headboard on draft day.
Can they stop with the stupid R&B draft jams and get to the picks…BAH
Please trade with Minnesota, go back to 7 more than likely still get Kalil and have a bunch of picks, this could turn out great
I hope and pray this is just a rumor. The team has lot of needs and they can’t keep trading the draft picks year-in, year-out. As much as Jags need WR help, they can always find quality receiver later down.
Don’t get too tricky Vikes. Take Kalil at 4 (or at least Claiborne, if that is who they have targeted). My preference would be Kalil.
GENE! Dude, he will be there at 7. Don’t trust the Browns.
I’m surprised they didn’t learn their lesson about trading up last year.
