The Jacksonville Jaguars are making a bold move to secure a Super Bowl run, trading away multiple draft picks to strengthen their defense. On Monday, the team finalized three trades, with the most significant being the blockbuster acquisition of Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis.
Blockbuster Trade for Jordan Davis
The Jaguars sent a 2027 first-round draft pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Eagles in exchange for Davis, who was selected 13th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. Davis, now reunited with former Georgia teammate and current Jags defensive end Travon Walker, brings a physical presence that could transform the team’s defensive line.

Following the Davis trade, the Jaguars continued their defensive upgrades by acquiring safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-rounder. The team also acquired defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints in a deal involving a conditional 2028 sixth-round pick.
With the NFL trade deadline approaching at 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday, the Jaguars have made a series of aggressive moves to address their weaknesses. GM James Gladstone has focused on improving the leaky secondary and the depleted defensive interior, recognizing the AFC as an open landscape.
While giving up first- and second-round picks may seem costly, the Jaguars are positioning themselves for a championship run. Reuniting Davis with Walker gives the team a formidable physical DNA up front, while Bates’ addition strengthens the back end. At this point, how do you not have the Jacksonville Jaguars as your favorite to win the Super Bowl?
