The 2024 NFL Scouting Combine is now in the books, so it feels like the perfect opportunity for our first Jacksonville Jaguars seven-round mock draft of the year. Using Pro Football Network’s mock draft simulator, I began by sending the Jags’ third-round pick (97 overall) to the Atlanta Falcons per the conditions of the Calvin Ridley trade. That pick would have become a second-rounder had Jacksonville signed Ridley to a long-term deal before the new league year, but reports indicate that is unlikely as we near the deadline on March 13. With that in mind, knowing Jacksonville now had just two picks to work with in the first three rounds, I have Trent Baalke working his magic yet again to gain more capital toward the top of the draft.
