Jaguars 2026 NFL Draft order: Why Jacksonville has no 1st-round pick

If the Jacksonville Jaguars had a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, it would be the 27th overall selection. But the Jags traded that pick to the Cleveland Browns to be able to move up to No. 2 and select one of the most dynamic athletes available, Colorado’s two-way superstar Travis Hunter, in the 2025 draft.

The Jaguars sent the Browns their fifth overall pick in 2025, which Cleveland used to select DT Mason Graham. In addition, the Browns received the Jags’ second-round pick (No. 36), which they used to snag WR Quinshon Judkins. Jacksonville’s first-round pick in 2026 wraps up the deal.

Hunter landed on IR in October with a knee injury, and surgery to repair his LCL ended his rookie season. Before that point, Hunter played in seven games, with 28 catches on 45 targets for 298 yards and one touchdown. On defense, Hunter had 15 total tackles and three pass breakups.
