The Jacksonville Jaguars have made a notable move by acquiring the first and tenth overall picks from the 2021 NFL Draft for their quarterback room, correcting an earlier report that mistakenly mentioned the 15th pick. This strategic decision positions the Jaguars as potentially the third team since 2000 to have two first-round quarterbacks from the same draft class appear in the same season. The other teams to have achieved this are the 2022 Carolina Panthers with Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, and the 2011 Oakland Raiders with Kyle Boller and Carson Palmer.
Now the Jags have two first-round QBs.
