List of Jacksonville Jaguars first-round draft picks explained

The Jacksonville Jaguars are a professional American football team based in Jacksonville, Florida. The Jaguars compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the South Division of the American Football Conference.[1] The Jaguars joined the NFL in 1995 as an expansion team, along with the Carolina Panthers.[2] [3] [4] The team plays its home games at EverBank Stadium in downtown Jacksonville.[5]

The NFL draft, officially known as the "NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting",[6] [7] [8] is an annual event which serves as the league's most common source of player recruitment.[9] The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings; the teams with the worst win–loss records receive the earliest picks. Teams that qualified for the NFL playoffs select after non-qualifiers, and their order depends on how far they advanced, using their regular season record as a tie-breaker. The final two selections in the first round are reserved for the Super Bowl runner-up and champion. Draft picks are tradable and players or other picks can be acquired with them.[10]

Since the team's first draft in 1995, the Jaguars have selected 35 players in the first round.[11] The team's first selection in their inaugural NFL draft was Tony Boselli, a tackle from the University of Southern California; he was the second overall selection. Boselli is the Jaguars' only draft pick to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.[12] The Jaguars have held the first overall pick twice and selected Trevor Lawrence in 2021 and Travon Walker in 2022. In the most recent draft, held in 2024, the Jaguars selected Brian Thomas Jr., a wide receiver from Louisiana State University.[13]
