In the process of acquiring safety Jessie Bates and defensive tackle Jordan Davis on Monday, the Jacksonville Jaguarsparted with two 2027 draft picks. So how many draft picks do the Jaguars now hold in next April's draft?
As part of the Bates trade, the Jaguars sent a 2027 second-round pick to Atlanta. Their 2027 first-round pick went to Philadelphia for Davis.
The additions provide high-end answers at two of the Jaguars' biggest positions of need. Bates is a three-time second-team All-Pro in his career with elite ball production. Davis is a "premiere" player, as GM James Gladstone said, and someone whom the Jaguars believe can impact the game on all three downs, not only on running plays.
With help from Spotrac, here are the draft picks the Jaguars
now have in 2027.
Jaguars' 2027 NFL Draft picks after Jessie Bates, Jordan Davis trades
- Round 3: Jacksonville's original pick
- Round 4: Jacksonville's original pick
- Round 5: Jacksonville's original pick
- Round 5: Compensatory pick
- Round 6: Compensatory pick
- Round 6: Compensatory pick
- Round 7: Jacksonville's original pick
At this moment, the Jaguars' first pick won't come until the third round. They also only have four of their own picks remaining. Jacksonville previously traded its 2027 sixth-round pick to the New York Giants in August to acquire offensive lineman Daniel Faalele.
The compensatory picks are only projections at the moment and won't be made official until the offseason. If those compensatory picks are awarded, it will be because Devin Lloyd, Travis Etienne, and Greg Newsome left in free agency this past offseason.
On Monday, the Jaguars also traded away a 2028 fifth-round pick (Bates), a 2028 sixth-round pick (Davon Godchaux), and a 2029 second-round pick (Davis).
