Here is today’s roundup of the latest news, rumors, and analysis on your Jacksonville Jaguars. Local chatter The Shat is Back: Jaguars re-sign veteran OL Tyler Shatley (Big Cat Country) Shatley, who will turn 33 on Cinco de Mayo, is the team’s longest-tenured player and holds the franchise record for consecutive games played (140). He’s appeared in 145 total games with 51 starts at guard and center. Jacksonville Jaguars 2024 mock draft roundup (4/22) (Big Cat Country) This is an interesting one. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler projects a trade, but has the Jags making it with the Buffalo Bills. In this instance, the Bills trade picks 28, 133, 144 and a second-rounder in 2025 for the 17th pick to select Brian Thomas Jr. The Jags in turn go with Kool-Aid McKinstry at the backend of the first round. Jaguars podcast: What did team brass reveal before the 2024 NFL Draft? (Big Cat Country) John and I discussed the Jacksonville Jaguars’ strategy entering the 2024 NFL Draft — which begins Thursday night — after hearing Jaguars coach Doug Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke speak to media at the team’s annual pre-draft luncheon on Wednesday. Did Jaguars GM Trent Baalke tip his 2024 NFL Draft plan? (Times-Union) “You have exploratory conversations, you know what it’s going to take you to get to the 12 or 13, 14, 15 or whatever the number is and then you wait until draft day to figure out whether you’re going to do it or not,” Baalke said. It was the second time he brought up those specific picks, hinting that they’ve put feelers out for those teams to figure out an asking price on the day of the draft. Could the Jaguars Draft An Edge Defender in Round 1 of the 2024 Draft? (Jaguars.com) Edge defender is the clear area of strength for the defense, with Josh Allen and Travon Walker perhaps the defense’s two best players ... The Jaguars are more than OK here, but it wouldn’t be a shock if they addressed it somewhere on Day 1 or Day 2 of the draft. O-Zone: Mistaken identity (Jaguars.com) If I were posting a mock draft in the coming days, I probably would have Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold to the Jaguars at No. 17 overall. National links Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert, Saints RB Alvin Kamara win ‘The Catch’ competition (NFL.com) Brandon Aiyuk on Instagram: “6 days and it’s fireworks” (Niners Nation) Malik Nabers on being dangerous after catch, his favorite routes, and creating himself in ‘Madden’ (SB Nation) 2024 NFL draft: Mel Kiper’s favorite prospects at every position (ESPN) 2024 NFL draft: Latest prospect buzz, risers, surprises (ESPN) With so many legacy prospects in this year’s NFL Draft, who has the edge: Father or son? (The Athletic) Editor’s pick ‘My guys’ along the offensive line in the 2024 NFL Draft (Trench Warfare) Each draft cycle I make an effort to reserve the term ‘sticky’ to describe a run blocker for one player, and this year that term is a great place to start when explaining what makes [Graham] Barton worthy of a top 32 pick. Barton uses excellent core strength, contact balance and active, light feet to arrive on contact square before latching, steering and finding ways to consistently finish through the whistle. Those traits typically translate and serve as a rock solid foundation for a long career, and we got to see those traits on Barton’s film for two years.
