Overview
- Jacksonville projects three 2027 compensatory selections: a fourth-rounder tied to Devin Lloyd’s deal with the Panthers, a fifth for Travis Etienne’s contract with the Saints, and a sixth for Greg Newsome’s agreement with the Giants, based on reported values.
- Gladstone framed the extra picks as trade currency usable throughout the year, pointing to recent Day 3 deals for receivers Tim Patrick and Jacoby Meyers.
- The team has largely avoided outside additions to protect the formula, re-signing cornerback Montaric Brown and making running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. its lone external pickup to date.
- The Jaguars also hold four Day 2 selections in the upcoming draft—one second-round pick and three third-rounders—adding to their maneuverability.
- Compensatory awards are set by an NFL formula and the projected rounds could change before the league finalizes them.
