The Burning Question Every Jags Fan Wants Answered: How Many Draft Picks Did We REALLY Have in 2023?
Ah, the 2023 draft. A time of hope, speculation, and...endless confusion about how many darn picks the Jacksonville Jaguars actually had. Fear not, fellow Duval County denizens, for I am here to shed light on this mystery, with a healthy dose of laughter of course.
Did the Jags Have a Pickapalooza or Were They Pick-Pocketed?
Let's just say the rumor mill went into overdrive in the lead-up to the 2023 draft. Some folks swore the Jags had enough picks to field a whole new team (and maybe a marching band). Others were convinced they'd traded away their future for a bag of peanuts.
Well, buckle up Jaguars fans, because the truth is...
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
The Jacksonville Jaguars used a total of 13 selections in the 2023 NFL Draft. That's right, 13! Not 20, not 5, but a solid 13.
But wait, there's more! This number doesn't tell the whole story. The Jags were like the ultimate wheeler-dealers in the trade market. They moved up, they moved down, they played the draft board like a fiddle.
Remember that first-round pick we got from the Rams a while back? Yeah, that got shipped to the Giants. And that high pick from 2022? Well, the Bills came calling with an offer the Jags couldn't refuse.
