2021 NFL Draft order set: Jacksonville Jaguars have two picks in first round

Super Bowl 55 is finished. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are world champions. The NFL is gearing up for what will be a busy few months as hundreds of players will either sign with a new team or get drafted into the league.

It’s time for the Jacksonville Jaguars to go win another offseason ring.

NFL free agency is first and the Jaguars have the most cap space ($79.6 million) with one of the smallest dead cap numbers ($249,764) but it’s the 2021 NFL Draft that has us most excited — Trevor Lawrence is at the top of everyone’s board and the Jaguars are on the clock.

Here’s what the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft looks like.

After finishing the 2020 season with a franchise-worst 1-15 record, the Jaguars will be rewarded with the chance to draft franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Will they pick him? (Yes.) Is there a chance they pass on him for an offensive tackle or wide receiver? (Not really.)

From a league-wide perspective, three teams will not have any selections on Day 1 — the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams all traded away their first-round picks. Conversely, the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets join the Jaguars as the three teams with multiple picks in the first round.

The future is looking bright.

Go Jaguars.
