History

Historical Context

When the Jacksonville Jaguars joined the NFL in 1995, a February 15 expansion draft gave them 31 players and the league’s inaugural draft made offensive tackle Tony Boselli the second overall pick. The team reached its first playoffs in 1996 and later used top selections on Trevor Lawrence (2021) and Travon Walker (2022), a draft-centric strategy that continues today.
