Jaguars set to pick 17th in 2024 NFL Draft after missing playoffs
With the Jacksonville Jaguars and the rest of the NFL's regular season now in the books, most of the teams out of the playoffs are now turning their attention to the 2024 NFL Draft.
That includes the Jaguars, who blew their opportunity to win the AFC South with an embarrassing loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 18.

According to multiple reports and Tankathon.com, a draft pick order tracker, the Jaguars will be picking at No. 17 overall in this year's draft.

Last season, by making it to the AFC Divisional round of the playoffs, the Jaguars landed the No. 24 overall pick in the first round.
They were slated to pick at No. 25, but the Miami Dolphins forfeited their selection due to a violation of league rules.
The Jaguars traded their pick twice, moving down to pick No. 27, ultimately selecting offensive tackle Anton Harrison. Harrison started all 17 games this season at right tackle.
The Jaguars have never been awarded the No. 17 pick in the NFL Draft.
Jacksonville currently has 10 draft picks but will be giving up at least a third-round pick for last year's acquisition of receiver Calvin Ridley.
They are also likely to receive a high compensatory pick after losing Jawaan Taylor to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency.
