Which teams make sense as second-round trade up options for the Jacksonville Jaguars?
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars don't have a first-round pick when it comes to next month's draft, but that doesn't mean they can't move up the board. But what about moving up in the second round? If this is the path the Jaguars choose, here are three trade partners who make some sense.

Mandatory Credit: Matt Krohn-Imagn Images | Matt Krohn-Imagn Images There are a number of connections to make between the Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings as franchises, with Kevin O'Connell having extensive experienceand Grant Udinski. Perhaps those relationships would help expedite a deal between the two sides, especially since it appears O'Connell has quite a bit of personnel say as Vikings realign their front office in the coming weeks and months. The Vikings have had little luck in recent drafts, so they will likely want to stock up on draft picks to get things back on track. They have four picks in the top-100, but they do not have a fourth-round pick and have to wait close to 70 picks to make their first Day 3 pick. They could use some Day 3 ammo to move back a few spots.Detroit Lions executive vice president and general manager Brad Holmes speaks during media availability at Meijer Performance Center in Allen Park on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2026. | Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Another team with ties to the Jaguars is the Detroit Lions, where general manager Brad Holmes comes from the Les Snead tree and has worked with James Gladstone. The two general managers made a few deals together last year, including a draft day trade and then theWhile the Lions have nine draft picks, seven of them come on Day 3. The Lions do not have a third-round pick and have just two top-100 picks, which means the Jaguars' three third-round picks could be extremely appealing.Feb 24, 2026; Indianapolis, IN, USA; Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman speaks at the NFL Scouting Combine at the Indiana Convention Center.

While the Eagles only pick a few slots in front of the Jaguars, they could be an option for the Jaguars to contact to ensure the Jaguars get their guy. The Eagles and Howie Roseman are always open to more draft picks, too. After these two teams did trades for Fred Johnson and Tank Bigsby last year, it stands to reason there is a solid working relationship between the two front offices as we inch closer to the draft.JOHN SHIPLEY John Shipley has been covering the Jacksonville Jaguars as a beat reporter and publisher of Jaguar Report since 2019.
