The Jacksonville Jaguars are a professional American football team based in Jacksonville, Florida. The Jaguars compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the American Football Conference South Division. The team plays its home games at EverBank Stadium in Central Jacksonville. The Jaguars joined the NFL in 1995 as an expansion team, along with the Carolina Panthers.[2][3][4]

The NFL draft, officially known as the "NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting",[5][6][7] is an annual event which serves as the league's most common source of player recruitment.[8] The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings; the teams with the worst win–loss records receive the earliest picks. Teams that qualified for the NFL playoffs select after non-qualifiers, and their order depends on how far they advanced, using their regular season record as a tie-breaker. The final two selections in the first round are reserved for the Super Bowl runner-up and champion. Draft picks are tradable and players or other picks can be acquired with them.[9]

The Jaguars' first selection in the NFL draft as a team was USC offensive tackle Tony Boselli.[2] Boselli is the Jaguars' only draft pick to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.[10] In the most recent draft, held in 2023, the Jaguars chose Oklahoma offensive tackle Anton Harrison.[11] The Jaguars have held the first overall pick in the draft twice and have held the second overall pick three times. The team has selected six players—Fred Taylor (1998), Reggie Nelson (2007), Derrick Harvey (2008), Dante Fowler (2015), Taven Bryan (2018), and C. J. Henderson (2020)—in the first round from the University of Florida.[12]
