NFL teams that have had back-to-back No. 1 overall draft picks: Jaguars likely to be among 6

The Jacksonville Jaguars had never had the No. 1 overall draft pick up until last year when they made Trevor Lawrence the first selection in the 2021 NFL Draft.

They might join NFL history this week and have the top pick in back-to-back drafts. Who else in NFL history has done it?

The Philadelphia Eagles were the first in 1936 and 1937 when they got halfback Jay Berwanger and halfback Sam Francis, who was later traded to the Chicago Bears for $4,000.

Just a few years later, the Chicago Cardinals in 1939 and 1940 picked center Charles “Ki” Aldrich and fullback George Cafego.
