The Jacksonville Jaguars are currently set to pick 17th in the 2024 NFL draft after a 9-8 season left them just outside the 14-team playoff field.
A trade to move up the draft order could make sense, or maybe the Jaguars would again be interested in sliding back after doing so twice in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft. But for now, Jacksonville is slated to make its pick right in the middle of the first round next month.
So what kind of value can the Jaguars expect out of that draft slot? The team has never before made a selection in the five-pick span between Nos. 14 and 18 overall.
