The Jacksonville Jaguars lost their Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans. And the Detroit Lions demolished the Cardinals 30-12. With that, the Jacksonville Jaguars get to make the first claim in NFL Draft 2022. That being said, they now have the first pick in the NFL Draft for two consecutive seasons.

During the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jaguars picked Trevor Lawrence as their first overall pick. And so this year their primary focus won’t be on quarterbacks.

And if they continue to lose their remaining three games, they as well get to enter the NFL Draft with the No. 1 pick overall yet again.
