3. Christian Kirk - Jacksonville Jaguars

With the Jaguars waiving the white flag and starting a full-blown fire sale, it appears that Christian Kirk could be had for a modest price. If so, he'd be a great fit in Andy Reid's offense as a safety blanket for Patrick Mahomes.

Brian Thomas Jr. is seemingly the future of Jacksonville's passing attack, making Kirk a realistic trade option who could be had at a major discount.

He already has 296 receiving yards despite the Jaguars' awful offense and with four seasons under his belt with over 700 receiving yards, Kirk would be a similar veteran buy-low opportunity to JuJu Smith-Schuster's original contract.

There's no question that Kirk would immediately be perhaps the team's best receiver. The former second-round pick has never had the benefit of playing with a guy like Mahomes, so why not send a mid-round pick for him?

Kirk has two years left on his deal and that could create a cap problem. Regardless, his upside may be too exciting to pass up.
