Just when you think the Jacksonville Jaguars were done making moves, they turn around and do this! They are trading a HAUL for one of the best young defensive tackles in the league, Jordan Davis. This trade could put them over the top in the AFC and potentially in the entire league. Let’s dive right into this massive transaction.

Jaguars’ New Superstar DT

The Jaguars just traded for Jessie Bates III this morning and gave up a second-round pick in the process. For this Jordan Davis trade, they gave up a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick. That is a massive package for a player whose impact isn’t in counting stats.

For the season, he has only 31 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, 2 TFLs, and a pass deflection. That might not seem like a dominant player, but when you look at the tape and the number of times he is double-teamed, he makes an impact. Davis is double-teamed on 71.5% of his snaps last season. He’s only played in 51% of the snaps with the Eagles; that number will go up exponentially.

Instant Reaction

The Jaguars better win the Super Bowl this season. This, like the Chicago Bears trading for Jeffery Simmons, they have put all their chips in the middle of the table. This is their now-or-never moment. The definition of “F them picks.” Their salary cap situation is in hell next season, but they’re putting that on the credit card and worrying about it down the road.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I think this is an awesome trade for the Jaguars, who are eyeing the number one seed in the AFC. They are primed for the postseason to go through Duval County. Is this the year that Jacksonville makes the Super Bowl or will it be another season with so much potential fall so short?
