The Jacksonville Jaguars have the 29th selection in the first
round and 11 picks overall when the 65th NFL draft takes place on Saturday
and Sunday, April 15-16. The two-day selection process will begin at
12:00 noon on Saturday, April 15, with the first three rounds being
completed that day. The remaining four rounds will begin at 11:00 a.m.
on Sunday, April 16.
The Jaguars will head into their sixth NFL season once again as the
defending AFC Central Division champions, and they are looking to strengthen
their team through the draft, as they seek a fifth consecutive appearance in
the playoffs.
In addition to their first-round pick, the Jaguars have 10 other
choices - one in each of the second through seventh rounds, as well as four
compensatory selections in the seventh round. The Jaguars acquired the
compensatory picks because they suffered a net loss of certain quality
unrestricted free agents last year.

suffered a net loss of certain quality unrestricted free agents last year. All of
the compensatory picks fall in Rounds 4-7.
