The Jacksonville Jaguars made a splash in the first draft of the Liam Coen and James Gladstone era. The team traded up to No. 2 overall to select Colorado‘s two-way player Travis Hunter in a “bold” move.
They continued to show off a bold strategy on Friday night, making two more trades during the third-round of the NFL Draft.
They sent the No. 70 pick, along with No. 182 and 2026 sixth-round pick to the Detroit Lions for 2025 No. 102, and two 2026 sixth-round picks. Then they traded picks Nos. 102 and 142 to the Houston Texans for Nos. 89 and 236.
