Jaguars Skip First Round, Face Draft Dilemma

0:00It's March 17th, here's your NFL news in two minutes. The Jacksonville Jaguars are set to enter the 2026 NFL Draft without a first round pick. This stems from last year's trade that brought wide receiver Travis Hunter to the team, sending their future first rounder to the Cleveland Browns. That selection has now become the number 24 overall pick. It's a franchise first, no Jaguars first rounder in team history, and leaves them starting at the 56th spot, despite holding nearly a dozen total, selections, fans and the front office might feel a pull toward the spotlight of early picks, a common offseason through, even if results often fade over time. General manager James Gladstone faces real pressure to chase that buzz. Moving up from their car position would demand steep costs, far beyond with the Atlanta Falcons paid, with a future first to jump from number, 46 to 26. Being patient makes sense, with four picks inside the top 100 offering solid chances to build without forcing a pricey deal.
