Jaguars in line for top 5 pick in 2023 NFL Draft amid losing streak

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ playoff hopes are dwindling fast amid a five-game losing streak, but the flip side is that the team is quickly finding itself in familiar territory in the 2023 NFL Draft.

After dropping to 2-6 with a loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 8, the Jaguars are now fifth in the draft order. Here is the full top 10 at the end of October with the strength of schedule tiebreaker (lower picks first) in parentheses.

Jacksonville owned the first overall pick in each of the last two drafts and used them to select quarterback Trevor Lawrence and outside linebacker Travon Walker.
