Jaguars should 'investigate trading down,' says ESPN analyst
ESPN's Ben Solak detailed how all 32 NFL teams can "crush" their picks in the 2025 NFL draft. Part of that equation for the Jacksonville Jaguars could include taking Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham at fifth overall, a move that Solak likes.
However, before picking Graham or anyone else, for that matter, Solak believes that the Jaguars should look into trading down in the first round.
"The most likely path to a needle-mover at defensive tackle is the No. 5 pick, where Mason Graham (Michigan) could go. I'd like that pick for the Jaguars just fine, but they should investigate trading down. The defensive tackle class is pretty strong at No. 36 as well, should they miss out on Graham."
