2021 NFL draft: Full draft order with trade values for all picks
With Super Bowl LV taking place in February and the Tampa Bay Bucs winning it all, the NFL’s draft order has long been set. The Jacksonville Jaguars’ place in the order had been set longer than that as the team’s 1-15 record earned them the first overall pick, and there is little doubt who they’re taking with it.
In addition to acquiring the top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jags put themselves in place to have 10 total picks for the event. Of those picks, five are in the top-100, which is tied for the most in the NFL. And while the Jags are very unlikely to trade the No. 1 overall pick, they could maneuver at some point in the draft after they select Trevor Lawrence.
With that being the case, Jimmy Johnson’s draft value chart, developed in the early 80s, will be a valuable tool for fans to get familiar with. The chart has been an important tool in the football community for the simple fact that it places a value on each selection. As a result, teams and fans can project what it would take to maneuver in the draft for their favorite teams as trading picks has become important in the draft.
The Jags’ previous general manager, Dave Caldwell, was known for trading up in Round 2. However, with new general manager Trent Baalke, who hasn’t been a general manager since 2016, and Urban Meyer now leading the way, it is hard to say how the Jags will maneuver under the new regime.
Nonetheless, our graphics team with USA Today put together a chart with each pick’s value and the draft order for our readers below.
