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. [3] The Jaguars joined the NFL in 1995 as an expansion team, along with the Carolina Panthers. [4] [5] [6] The team plays its home games at EverBank Stadium in downtown Jacksonville. [7]

The NFL draft, officially known as the "NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting", [8] [9] [10] is an annual event which serves as the league's most common source of player recruitment. [11] 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. [12]

Since the team's first draft in 1995, the Jaguars have selected 36 players in the first round. [13] 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. [4] Boselli is the Jaguars' only draft pick to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. [14] The Jaguars have held the first overall pick twice and selected Trevor Lawrence in 2021 and Travon Walker in 2022. [13] In the most recent draft, held in 2025, the Jaguars selected Travis Hunter, a two-way player from the University of Colorado Boulder. [15]
