The Jaguars simply cannot pass on a receiver early here. In a pivotal year for the Jacksonville offense and QB Trevor Lawrence, finding another receiver on the outside could open up a lot of offense for WR Christian Kirk and TE Evan Engram. [Adonai] Mitchell is a smooth mover on the outside, who still has his best football ahead of him.
The Jaguars have a big hole at wide receiver after losing Calvin Ridley in free agency. They can attempt to fill that hole with [Adonai] Mitchell, who has the upside to develop into a true No. 1 wide receiver in the NFL.
Nabers also met with the Patriots, Titans, Jets, and Jaguars and he is set to meet with the Cardinals after he works out. All except the Jaguars are picking in the top 10 and the Patriots and Cardinals are both in front of the Giants.

What are the chances that both Walker Little and Cam Robinson are on the roster to start the season? Do you see trade value for either?
I expect the chances are better both are on the roster in 2024 than not. What the Jaguars do in the NFL 2024 NFL Draft could change that. If the Jaguars select a left tackle on Day 1 or 2, I suspect Robinson could be traded – mainly because doing so could clear significant salary-cap space.
