The Jacksonville Jaguars once again found themselves as a trending topic in NFL headlines Tuesday. The team traded one of their locker room leaders, A.J. Bouye, to the Denver Broncos. While the move was clearly to help their salary cap, they also were able to get draft compensation from Denver in the form of a 2020 fourth-round pick, giving them 10 selections for April’s draft.
- 2020 first-round (No. 9, No. 20* From Los Angeles Rams)
- 2020 second-round (No. 42) 9, 20, 42, 73, 116, 134, 166, 189, 206, 224
- 2020 third-round (No. 73)
- 2020 fourth-round (No. 106)
- 2020 fourth-round (No. 127 *From Denver)
- 2020 fifth-round (No. 148)
- 2020 sixth-round (No. 170, No. 187)
- 2020 seventh-round (No. 201)
Order projected by The Draft Network
When looking within the top-110 selections, the Jags now have six selections, with two picks to come in the first and fourth rounds. Of course, their second first round selection (No. 20) came from trading Jalen Ramsey last year.
Jags general manager Dave Caldwell may not be done just yet as Yannick Ngakoue has come out to say he doesn’t want a long-term deal with the Jags. While Caldwell may want to keep Ngakoue, retaining the young pass-rusher in hopes that he won’t sit out might not be the smartest decision because his job is on the line. That said, his hand could be forced and he may just elect to get what he can for Ngakoue instead of having him sit during the regular season and receive nothing.
Other candidates like veterans Calais Campbell, Andrew Norwell, and Brandon Linder have been floated out their as names the Jags might look into shipping. Ultimately, time will tell what Caldwell’s true intentions are though.
