The Jacksonville Jaguars sent a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday to acquire defensive tackle Jordan Davis. The move adds a proven interior pass rusher to a team that currently leads the AFC South with a 6-2 record.
Davis entered the league as the 13th overall selection in the 2022 draft out of Georgia. He played as a starter on the Eagles roster that won Super Bowl LIX during the 2024 season. Philadelphia secured his services for the long term by agreeing to a three-year, $78 million extension during the previous offseason.
This is the third defensive acquisition for Jacksonville this week. The team already secured safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons and defensive lineman Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints. The Eagles confirmed the deal through a social media post, listing the specific draft capital exchanged.
Jacksonville has traded five picks in total for these three players. The haul includes the 2027 first-round selection, a 2027 second-round pick, a 2028 fifth-round pick, a 2028 sixth-round pick, and the 2029 second-round pick. The team entered Monday with the second-best scoring defense in the league, allowing 15.1 points per game.
The Jaguars are pairing their defensive upgrades with the fourth-ranked scoring offense, which averages 28.6 points per game. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence leads that unit. The team aims to reach the Super Bowl after the New England Patriots moved from a top-five draft pick to a conference title in the previous year.
