But what can we learn from the General ..read more

Ken Ruinard-USA TODAY Sports Nate Wiggins, Terrion Arnold, Malik Nabers, oh my! Turn on Kevin Costner. It’s Draft Day. The 2024 NFL Draft is finally here and the Jacksonville Jaguars hold the 17th overall pick. For a majority of these roundups, the assumed pick for the Jags was a corner. Now that the draft is just hours away, there is seemingly as little certainty as ever for who the team might take. The Jags may trade down. They may stay put.
