By Chris Malumphy
Currently the #Jaguars have 5 of the first 65 draft picks in 2021. Below are each of the teams that have actually made 4 or more of the first 65 selections since 2000. Of course, the Jaguars could trade up or out of their current picks. The future appears bright for Jacksonville and Coach Urban Meyer.
