The Jacksonville Jaguars gave up a sixth-round draft pick Tuesday to acquire offensive lineman Ezra Cleveland from the Minnesota Vikings. But even after losing the late-round pick, the Jaguars have plenty of 2024 NFL draft capital to spare.
With the draft just under six months away, here are the picks currently owned by the Jaguars:
- 1st round (currently projected to be No. 27 overall)
- 2nd round* (goes to Falcons if Calvin Ridley gets contract extension)
- 3rd round* (goes to Falcons if Ridley meets unspecified playing time conditions, but doesn’t sign extension)
- 3rd round (expected compensatory pick for loss of Jawaan Taylor in free agency)
- 4th round* (goes to Falcons if Ridley doesn’t meet playing time conditions and doesn’t sign extension)
- 4th round (via Saints)
- 5th round
- 6th round
- 6th round (expected compensatory pick for loss of Arden Key in free agency)
- 7th round
There won’t be any more trades until the NFL’s 2024 league year begins on March 14, so the picks are mostly set for the time being. There are still the parameters of the Ridley trade that need to be finalized with the Jaguars’ fourth-round selection appearing unlikely to be the pick that gets sent to Atlanta.
Compensatory selections will be officially announced at some point during the NFL’s annual league meeting scheduled for March 24-27, 2024. While there’s no doubt that the loss of Taylor will net Jacksonville a third-round pick, there’s a chance that the loss of Key could land the Jaguars a fifth-rounder instead of a sixth-rounder.
The losses of tight end Chris Manhertz and wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. are also eligible to count in the compensatory formula, but are unlikely to reach the threshold for a seventh-round selection.
