Who did Jaguars pick in the draft?
Ah, the Jaguars’ draft picks—a topic as mysterious as why flamingos stand on one leg, yet somehow less graceful. This year, Jacksonville’s front office swung their metaphorical machete through the draft board with the precision of someone who once watched a YouTube tutorial on “How to Be a NFL GM.” Let’s dissect their haul like a possum inspecting a half-eaten taco.
First Round: The “Please Protect Trevor Lawrence” Special
With the 24th overall pick, the Jaguars selected Anton Harrison, an offensive tackle from Oklahoma. Why? Because letting Trevor Lawrence imitate a crash-test dummy for another season seemed… suboptimal. Harrison’s job: stand there, look large, and deflect chaos like a human Beyblade. Rumor has it his contract includes a lifetime supply of ice packs and a framed photo of Lawrence’s relieved smile.
Day 2: Chaos Theory in Action
- Second Round (61st): Brenton Strange, TE, Penn State. Not to be confused with a Bond villain, Strange fills the “guy who catches things” role—a critical position when your QB is simultaneously running for his life.
- Third Round (88th): Tank Bigsby, RB, Auburn. His name is Tank. Let that sink in. Jacksonville now has a backfield featuring a Tank and a Travis (Etienne). The only thing missing is a helicopter.
The later rounds? Let’s just say the Jaguars drafted a safety (Antonio Johnson) who reportedly “loves tackling,” which is good because Jacksonville’s defense last year tackled like they were allergic to shoulder pads. Also, shoutout to Yasir Abdullah (OLB, Louisville), whose job description is “find quarterback, hug quarterback (aggressively).”
So there you have it: a draft class built to either fuel a playoff run or become the punchline of a dad joke. Either way, Duval’s hopes now rest on a Tank, a Strange, and a dude named Anton. *chefs kiss*
How many draft picks do the Jaguars have in 2025?
Ah, the eternal question: How many shiny new football humans will the Jacksonville Jaguars be allowed to adopt in 2025? As of right now, the answer is somewhere between “3” and “17,” depending on whether GM Trent Baalke accidentally trades next year’s seventh-rounder for a vending machine franchise or discovers a loophole involving a literal loophole. (Pro tip: The NFL’s trade rules are 90% vibes, 10% capricious football deities.)
The Crystal Ball Says “Maybe 7 (But Also Maybe Not)”
If we assume the Jaguars haven’t bartered away their draft capital for, say, a holographic quarterback or a time-traveling cornerback from 2042, they’ll likely have the standard seven picks. However, here’s the twist:
- Round 1: One pick, unless someone offers them a lifetime supply of Publix subs.
- Rounds 2-7: Existential chaos. Compensatory picks? Traded for a “mystery box”? Who knows!
The “We Swear This Spreadsheet Makes Sense” Factor
Remember, the Jaguars’ draft math often feels like solving a Rubik’s Cube… blindfolded… on a rollercoaster. They could gain three compensatory picks for losing free agents named Clive or accidentally clone Trevor Lawrence (it’s Florida, after all). Or they might trade down so aggressively, they end up drafting a University of Phoenix graduate student in 2031. The possibilities are endless, nonsensical, and probably involve at least one “conditional” pick that hinges on the phase of the moon.
So, how many picks do they have? The only honest answer is: Check back after someone wins a game of Madden against the league office. Until then, assume the number is “yes.”
How many draft picks do the Jaguars have in 2026?
As of right now, the Jacksonville Jaguars have seven draft picks in 2026. That’s right—seven shiny chances to draft a future Hall of Famer, a meme-worthy bust, or someone who’ll immediately demand a trade to a team with better weather. But let’s be real: Trying to predict 2026’s draft capital is like planning a vacation to Mars using a 2012 GPS. Trades, compensatory picks, and the occasional GM panic attack could turn those seven picks into 12… or three. Stay flexible, folks.
Breaking down the 2026 treasure chest (or maybe just a lunchbox?)
- Round 1: One pick. Unless the Jaguars trade it for a disgruntled QB who loves skateboarding.
- Rounds 2-7: One pick each. Standard issue, like socks on Christmas. But who knows? Maybe they’ll package a few to move up and draft a punter named “Blimp.”
What could possibly go wrong (or right)?
By 2026, the Jaguars might’ve traded their first-rounder for a time machine to undo the 2023 season. Or maybe they’ll hoard picks like a squirrel with acorns, drafting 11 tight ends just to see what happens. Remember, this is a team that once used a draft pick on a kicker who’d already retired. The future’s unwritten, but the chaos is guaranteed. Buckle up.
So, seven picks. For now. But if history tells us anything, it’s that the Jaguars’ draft strategy is best enjoyed with popcorn, a sense of humor, and maybe a stress ball shaped like Doug Pederson’s mustache.
What did Jaguars give up for Travis Hunter?
Oh, you know, just the usual bounty you’d trade for a human Swiss Army knife who plays both sides of the ball like a caffeinated cheetah. The Jaguars handed over enough draft capital to build a small island nation—or at least a 2024 first-round pick, a 2025 third-round pick, and a 2026 second-round pick. That’s right, they basically bet their future on Hunter outrunning the ghost of “what if we’d kept those picks?” while singing *NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” to their scouting department.
A breakdown of the haul (or heist?)
- The 2024 first-rounder: Gone. Poof. Imagine losing your golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s factory, but instead of chocolate rivers, you get Travis Hunter doing backflips over cornerbacks.
- The 2025 third-round pick: Sacrificed to the football gods in exchange for Hunter’s ability to teleport between offense and defense. Science can’t explain it, but neither can the guy trying to block him.
- The 2026 second-rounder: Essentially a time traveler. By the time this pick matures, Hunter will either be a Hall of Famer or hosting a reality show called *Extreme Two-Way Stardom*.
Let’s not forget the undisclosed future considerations, which likely include a lifetime supply of sunscreen for Colorado’s sunny games, a signed jersey that says “Sorry, Urban,” and Jacksonville’s collective ability to sleep soundly without whispering “but what about the draft?” into their pillows.
Was it worth it?
If Hunter becomes half the unicorn everyone claims he is, the Jaguars just traded three magic beans for a beanstalk that moonlights as a defensive highlight reel. If not? Well, at least they’ll have a great story about the time they tried to draft a superhero without a cape. Priorities!
