The Jacksonville Jaguars have loaded up on draft picks for the next two years and their riches got better Monday — well, slightly. The original fifth-round selection they received from the Baltimore Ravens (No. 170) for trading Calais Campbell Sunday was upgraded. Due to the Ravens receiving a higher fifth-round selection from the Atlanta Falcons during their transaction for Hayden Hurst, the Ravens will now be giving the Jags the newly acquired fifth-rounder (No. 153) instead.
The Jags will enter the 2020 NFL Draft with 11 picks after trading Campbell. The transaction also put the Jags in position where they have multiple draft picks in the first, fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds.
With the Jags heading towards a rebuild a lot of the late-round selections could provide the team with depth if they keep a majority of them and they may even get lucky on some like they did with quarterback Gardner Minshew II. More early-round selections could be coming in the future, too, as Yannick Ngakoue has come out to say that he doesn’t want a long-term deal with the Jags.
