The Jacksonville Jaguars have added another first round flop to their offense, as they've traded for wide receiver Troy Williamson from the Minnesota Vikings for a sixth-round pick.

Williamson was the seventh overall pick of the 2005 draft and was brought in primarily to replace wideout Randy Moss, who Minnesota traded to the Oakland Raiders in order to grab the No. 7 pick.

Williamson is the third struggling first-round receiver added to the Jags' roster. The Jags drafted two other wideouts that have failed to meet expectations, Reggie Williams and Matt Jones.

In his three seasons with the Vikings, Williamson has garnered 79 catches for 1067 yards.
