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 35 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 2024, the Jaguars selected Brian Thomas Jr., a wide receiver from Louisiana State University.[15]
