A wild night in the NFL draft saw the Jaguars trade back twice in the first round before going offense on Thursday night, adding some muscle with Oklahoma tackle Anton Harrison.
Jacksonville moved down twice from its initial spot, first with the Giants, moving down one place to No. 25, and next to the Bills at No. 27. The Jaguars added picks No. 160 in the fifth round and 240 in the seventh from the Giants and pick No. 130 from the Bills.
It was a scenario that didn’t seem realistic when the draft began, but became more and more likely with how the draft board shaped up.The board fell differently than many would have projected. The run on offensive tackles came and went by 14. And the Lions provided Jacksonville some help, too. Detroit pulled the surprise of the first round when it picked running back Jahmyr Gibbs at No. 12 and linebacker Jack Campbell at No. 18. Those players were not considered first-round picks.
That left a slew of playmakers on the board for Jacksonville — tight end Michael Mayer, and defenders Nolan Smith, Brian Branch, Nolan Smith, Joey Porter Jr. and Myles Murphy.Picking in the 20s hasn’t been kind to Jacksonville., taken 28th in the 2006 draft, is the only one of the eight picks of its own in the 20s who has posted a Pro Bowl season with the Jaguars.
Before Thursday night, the last time they picked in the 20s with their own selection came in 2018 when Jacksonville picked defensive tackle Taven Bryan 29th. His time in town was underwhelming and Bryan left as a free agent after his fourth season.
