Back in April, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected linebacker Devin Lloyd out of Utah with the No. 27 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
The team traded up to get back into the first round in order to land Lloyd, sending picks No. 33 (second round), No. 106 (fourth round) and No. 180 (sixth round) to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Given the Jaguars’ willingness to trade away several draft picks to get Lloyd, Jacksonville’s brass — namely head coach Doug Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke, amongst others — clearly believe that Lloyd will be a difference-maker on and off the field.
