The dynamic hunter will depend on being an immediate star of a Jaguar team that lacks star power.
New York Giants made a splash when they traded back to the first round of Houston Texans to pick Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss instead of Sanders.
Giants traded their second round elections (No. 34 overall), one of their third round elections (No. 99) and next year’s election of the third round to acquire No. 25 overall elections and choose darts.
Just after Giants acquired Texans’ election, Atlanta Falcons also traded back to the first round. Falcons traded their second round (No. 46), seventh round elections and next year’s first round elections for Los Angeles Rams for No. 26 overall and their third round elections this year.
