Report: Receiver, Offensive Tackle, and Cornerback Among Jaguars’ Top Priorities
The Jacksonville Jaguars are set to be equipped with nine picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, and it is anyone’s best guess as to which direction the Jaguars will go. Cornerback? It would make sense given the depth issues and lack of contracts past 2024. Offensive line? After the year the Jaguars just had up front, nobody would blame them. Wide receiver? That could be on the docket at No. 17, too, if the Jaguars don’t bring back Calvin Ridley. As such, one
report from the Senior Bowl in Mobile — which is always a week full of rumors — suggests these could be the exact positions the Jaguars are looking at this spring. “The 2024 NFL Draft is an excellent year for wide receiver and offensive tackle talent in the early rounds, plus features some quality depth at cornerback. Those things bode well for the Jacksonville Jaguars, because according to sources, those positions are the team’s top priorities,” Walter Football’s Charlie Campbell wrote. The Jaguars did take an offensive tackle in the first round a year ago — and one in the second round of the 2021 NFL
Draft — but there appears to be a real chance the Jaguars enter next season without Cam Robinson. As for cornerback, the Jaguars have drafted five over the last three drafts. Only two receivers have been drafted by the Jaguars in that span, too, with each coming in the sixth round. “The discussions on who’s all going to be here, who’s not going to be here. I’m not going to commit to anything right now. We got some work to do, we got some hard discussions to be had,” Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke said last week.
