Jaguars Reportedly Trying To Trade #1 Pick Ahead of NFL Draft

It’s NFL Draft day!

Jacksonville Jaguars are reportedly attempting to trade away the #1 overall pick hours before the NFL draft. According to Pro Football Talk, no team is currently interested in trading up for the #1 pick.

Via PFT:

The Jaguars declared last week that they’ve narrowed their field of potential No. 1 overall picks to four. As a practical matter, this means that they can move down to No. 4 and still get one of the guys on their list.

Per a league source, the Jaguars are still hoping that they can find a path out of the top pick. However, they continue to find no takers.

The Jaguars would like to slide down from No. 1, but they can't find a trader partner. https://t.co/MG0HqftxnP

Jaguars GM Trent Baalke revealed last week that he’s had zero calls about trading for the #1 pick:

#Jaguars GM Trent Baalke says nobody's called directly to trade for the No.1 overall pick yet.

Jags appear set to pick at 1. Baalke says w/ a smile "it's a work in progress" in regards to who they will pick. He noted they have a lot of players at top of draft graded similarly.

For now it appears that the #1 pick will either be Georgia’s Travon Walker or Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson.

Source close to the situation in Jacksonville tells me that Travon Walker will be the pick tomorrow night.

Rumors: #Jaguars GM Trent Baalke wants Travon Walker, but owner Shad Khan prefers Aidan Hutchinson, per @TonyPauline

Not the sexiest of drafts this year, and you know that by the fact the Jags are trying to trade their pick.

We’ll see how it plays out.
