Rebilas-Imagn Images It’s official; the Jacksonville Jaguars fanbase would like to see their team trade up into the first round of the NFL Draft this April. Following a strong first season for Liam Coen and James Gladstone, there is a feeling that the Jags are just one or two key pieces away from controlling the AFC South and becoming an annual participant in the postseason. The Jags’ move for Travis Hunter last year means they are currently without any day 1 draft capital, forcing the front office would need to be aggressive once again if they intend to land a blue chip prospect.

But any team looking to trade up needs a willing dance partner. With that in mind, which franchises may be in the market to move back in the draft in return for more picks? Let’s look at some options: Dallas Cowboys (#12, #20) Stephen Jones said the Cowboys are open to trading one of their first round picks.
