For just the second time in the past 15 years, the Jaguars are picking outside of the top 20 in the NFL draft. That means fans at the sold out Duuuval draft party at Daily’s Place will have to wait quite a bit longer than they’re accustomed to cheer (or jeer) Jacksonville’s draft choice.

After years of making high draft picks (Jacksonville has had its own pick after the 10th spot just once in the past 15 years), the Jaguars find themselves in a far different position this time. When the NFL draft rolls around on April 27, the Jaguars will pick 24th in the first round, their latest selection since they chose Florida defensive tackle Taven Bryan 29th in 2018.

Whether that’s in signing value players or spending on a big-ticket free agent or two shortly after 4 p.m. on March 17, don’t expect Jacksonville to sit idly by. Ad“We’re always going to look to push the envelope and spend, spend to the cap on a three-year rolling cycle, whether you’re above or below, but over a three-year period, hoping to spend to the cap,” Baalke said. Fewer teams are in position to offer rich free agent contracts, which will no doubt lead to a buyer’s market, at least in 2021. Caldwell’s free agent history was rough.

(AP Photo/John Raoux)JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Jaguars announced the hiring of veteran NFL executive Tom Gamble and former Florida linebacker Ryan Stamper as director of player assessment Monday. Gamble was named senior personnel executive and will assist general manager Trent Baalke in every aspect of the team's front office. Stamper is the lone addition to Jacksonville's staff who worked with new Jaguars coach Urban Meyer at Ohio State. He most recently served as assistant general manager of the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes in 2020 after working as a senior advisor to the head coach and player personnel at Michigan (2017-19). Stamper, a Jacksonville native, spent the past nine seasons of his career overseeing player development at Ohio State.

The new Jaguars coach is dialed in on one thing — filling out a coaching staff. “Obviously I didn’t know Trent, we met years ago, so I knew him but I didn’t know him. I’ve been very fortunate, my entire head coaching career, I’ve always looked at everything that I’ve done is a partnership. “Yeah, next week I’d like to, we’ll give a deep dive into what’s taken place because there’s been no finality to where were at as a coaching staff,” Meyer said. That’s a three-month, two-month, I think we all know there’s a couple incredible players out there, but my focus has been on the staff,” Meyer said.

Baalke joined the Jaguars in February 2020, serving as the director of player personnel. The word alignment was the buzzword on Thursday afternoon, with Meyer, Baalke and owner Shad Khan saying that decisions for the franchise would work best when everyone was in sync. Baalke took over on an interim basis as general manager Dave Caldwell was fired in late November. “Spending the last, a lot of time with Coach Meyer in the past couple of weeks I’ve learned a tremendous amount,” he said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Five days after hiring Urban Meyer as head coach, the Jaguars appear to be close to promoting interim general manager Trent Baalke to the role of general manager, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The top internal candidate, he stays to work with new coach Urban Meyer. When the early reports of Urban Meyer’s connection to the Jaguars came out, Baalke was the name most connected to Meyer as a general manager. Smith made the Pro Bowl in 2012, his second year in the league when he was also named a first-team All-Pro. Buckner made the Pro Bowl in 2018 and was voted a first-team All-Pro in 2020 with the Indianapolis Colts.
