James Gladstone makes a bold statement in his first draft as Jaguars GM by trading up to secure Travis Hunter, signaling a new era of aggressive team building in Jacksonville.

• Trading picks 5, 36, 126, and a 2026 first-round pick to move up to pick 2 
• Travis Hunter represents a potential game-changing player who can line up at both cornerback and wide receiver
• Team plans to primarily use Hunter on offense with situational defensive snaps
• Adding Caleb Ransaw (DB, Tulane) and Wyatt Milum (OL, West Virginia) in the third round to address secondary and offensive line
• Later picks focused on adding depth at running back, linebacker and offensive line
• Signing Emmanuel Ogbah immediately after the draft shows proactive approach to roster building
• New regime establishing clear identity with "intangibly rich" player acquisitions
• Dramatic contrast from previous management's conservative approach

Luke Easterling, NFL Draft expert from Athlon Sports, provides deep insights on the Jaguars' options with the fifth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and discusses key prospects who could transform the team.

• Jaguars should prioritize selecting a star player at pick #5 rather than trading down, since they already have ten total draft picks
• The elite tier of this draft class includes only three players: Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, and Ashton Jeanty
• Ashton Jenty represents a special running back talent that could bring game-changing explosiveness the Jaguars currently lack
• Mason Graham is a top-10 talent but the interior defensive line class is deep enough to find similar value in rounds 2-3
• Tyler Warren offers George Kittle-like versatility and could be the tight end that transforms Jacksonville's offense
• Emeka Egbuka stands out as the most polished route runner in the draft who could perfectly complement Brian Thomas Jr.
• Tate Ratledge is unlikely to fall to the third round despite being a perfect fit for the Jaguars' offensive line needs
• Offensive line talent drops significantly after the first two rounds, making it crucial to address early if seeking an immediate starter

What happens when the intense dynamics of the NFL collide with the demands of player safety? We tackle the complexities surrounding the Jacksonville Jaguars' recent hard-fought game against the Houston Texans, a match that ended in a tense 23-20 loss. Despite a slow start, the clash heated up dramatically, culminating in a controversial hit that has everyone talking. Is C.J. Stroud's performance this season truly falling short, or is there more beneath the surface? And what does this mean for the Jaguars as division rivals like the Colts begin to show signs of resurgence?

As the Jaguars lick their wounds, we shift focus to the Texans' playoff prospects in an AFC South filled with teams on the mend. Despite facing skepticism, the Texans might find a path to the playoffs through a division with rivals in various stages of rebuilding. But how will they fare against powerhouses like the Chiefs and Bills, or even a struggling Ravens team? We explore the ramifications of Azeez Al-Shaair's
suspension for his hit on Trevor Lawrence, examining the NFL's response and what it signals for the future of player safety and league rules.

From the sidelines to the locker room, we unpack the heated reactions and defense strategies from both teams in the aftermath of a contentious play. With insights from former players and coaches, we question the evolving nature of quarterback protection and the balance between safety and the sport's inherent aggression. How do figures like Chris Canty and Rex Ryan interpret these incidents, and what do their perspectives say about the current state of the game? Join us as we advocate for Trevor Lawrence's long-term health and discuss what the Jaguars can do to adapt to the changing landscape of the NFL.

On today's episode, Jay and Phil previewed six players on the Jags' roster who have something to prove heading into the 2022 season. Many of these players were high draft picks made by the Jags or free agents the team spent a lot of money on, and after not quite reaching expectations, these specific players should be heavily watched this season. 

The duo also discussed some team news as the Jags recently partnered with Miller Electric for the naming rights to their practice facility and have a date set for the start of training camp.

This week, our conversation takes a hard look at the Jaguar's recent struggles, including the blowout loss to the Detroit Lions. We're not shying away from the tough topics, questioning the leadership choices made by Shad Khan and the looming uncertainty around Doug Pederson and Trent Baalke’s future roles. From discussing the team's troubling fundamentals, like tackling and game planning, to the curious case of Khan’s luxurious yet seemingly disconnected yacht, the narrative around the Jaguars' leadership is anything but smooth sailing.

Amidst these challenges, there’s a glimmer of hope as we celebrate Fred Taylor's Hall of Fame nomination. Reflecting on his career, we find moments of gratitude and humor, especially as Thanksgiving memories come into play. As we contemplate the Jaguars' draft position and their upcoming games against teams like the Jets and Raiders, we continue to hold out for brighter days with Trevor Lawrence leading the charge. It's a rollercoaster of emotions and opinions, and we’re here to ride it with you, sharing our perspectives and hoping for a turnaround in Jacksonville’s fortunes.

How can a team with so much potential find themselves in such a precarious position? Join me, James Johnson, for a solo episode on the Touchdown Jaguars podcast as I discussed the Jags' rocky path so far. From a disheartening 1-5 record to a tough loss against the Chicago Bears in London Sunday, I dissected the game's unexpected twists and what went wrong. We'll also delve into the off-field drama, including notable comments from owner Shad Khan and player Andre Cisco, alongside the implications of trading Roy Robertson-Harris to the Seattle Seahawks.

The Jaguars' offensive woes continue to be a hot topic, and we leave no stone unturned. Trevor Lawrence's valiant efforts are juxtaposed against Evan Ingram's impressive return, while Gabe Davis's inconsistent play raises eyebrows. We'll question the curious roster choices, like favoring D'Ernest Johnson over Tank Bigsby, and the defensive penalties that paved the way for the Bears' victory. With Travis Etienne likely to sidelined due to injury, there's a spotlight on Tank Bigsby's opportunity to shine, and the importance of managing injuries to players like Tyson Campbell becomes ever more pressing.

Amidst the turmoil, we examine the bigger picture, questioning the Jaguars' cultural and managerial challenges. Are Doug Pederson and Trent Baalke the right leaders for this struggling team? Shad Khan's questionable support of the duo is put under the microscope, as we explore the potential need for a fresh start and new leadership. With Andre Cisco's candid insights, we paint a comprehensive picture of a team in need of transformation. As we edge closer to our milestone 100th episode, we remain committed to supporting the Jaguars community through these turbulent times.

A new era dawns for the Jacksonville Jaguars as we dive deep into the team's first draft under GM James Gladstone. After years of questionable draft strategies, there's a palpable excitement surrounding how the former Rams executive might approach building around Trevor Lawrence and transforming this roster.

Our comprehensive mock draft reveals fascinating possibilities, from trading back to accumulate picks while still landing Ohio State's Emeka Egbuka as the perfect complement to Brian Thomas Jr., to the potential windfall of Abdul Carter falling to pick #5. We examine how Gladstone's Rams background might influence draft philosophy, particularly the emphasis on winning cultures and prestigious programs.

The draft board falls surprisingly well for Jacksonville's needs across both mock scenarios. We identify crucial defensive backs who could stabilize a struggling secondary, interior defensive linemen who bring the violence needed against divisional running games, and offensive weapons that perfectly fit Liam Cohen's offensive vision. 

Join us as we break down picks round-by-round and imagine a draft that could finally deliver the supporting cast Trevor Lawrence deserves while building a defense that transforms Jacksonville into true AFC South contenders. Let us know your thoughts on our selections and who you hope the Jaguars target when the draft begins!

Join James Johnson and Phil Smith on the Touchdown Jaguars podcast as we unpack the Jacksonville Jaguars' season opener against the Miami Dolphins. Despite a heart-wrenching 20-17 loss, we spotlight the bright moments that signal a promising season ahead. We delve into key performances, from Trevor Lawrence's muted presence to Tank Bigsby's commendable effort and Travis Etienne's unfortunate fumble. We also break down standout plays from Miami's Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle, offering a balanced perspective on what led to this narrow defeat.

In our postgame analysis, we weigh the impact of coaching decisions versus player execution. Did Doug Pederson's choice to go for it on fourth down at their own 32-yard line cost the Jaguars the game? We explore pivotal moments like Christian Kirk's crucial dropped passes and missed tackles on defense, which allowed the Dolphins to gain extra yardage. We also highlight the importance of reviewing game footage to better understand the matchup dynamics, shedding light on what went wrong and what could be improved for future games.

Looking ahead, we discuss the defense's admirable performance and the offense's areas for improvement. Players like Travon Walker, Chad Muma, and Devin Lloyd show promise within Ryan Nielsen's defensive scheme, while the offense needs better execution and strategic play-calling to bounce back. As we gear up for the next matchup against the Cleveland Browns, we encourage Jaguars fans to focus on the positives and stay engaged through our social media updates and insights.

The tide is turning in Jacksonville as James Johnson breaks down the Jaguars' strategic approach to free agency under new GM James Gladstone. After years of splashy signings and mixed results, the organization appears to be charting a new course—one built on draft capital, calculated additions, and long-term sustainability.

Diving deep into all ten free agent acquisitions, James analyzes how each player fits into the larger vision. Dyami Brown brings much-needed vertical speed to stretch defenses, while Patrick Mekari offers versatility across all five offensive line positions. Jourdan Lewis stands out as a technically sound cornerback, which makes him a much needed addition in the secondary.

What makes this free agency period truly fascinating isn't who the Jaguars signed, but what their approach reveals about Gladstone's blueprint. With the most draft picks of any NFL team over the next three years, Jacksonville is clearly positioning itself to build through young talent rather than expensive veterans. This marks a significant philosophical shift from previous regimes—a shift that could finally deliver sustainable success.

The Jaguars aren't far from contention in a winnable AFC South. With these calculated additions and the upcoming draft, Jacksonville may surprise everyone in 2025. Whether you're frustrated by the lack of headline-grabbing moves or encouraged by this methodical approach, one thing is clear: the James Gladstone era has officially begun.
