The Jacksonville Pumas are seeking out for a substitution for Calvin Ridley after losing him in free organization. Based on a later report by Albert Breer of NFL Media, they may be willing to exchange up within the 2024 NFL Draft to fill the void.
Breer said in his MMQB column that the Jags have investigated the plausibility of moving up into the beat 10 for either Rome Odunze or Malik Nabers, one of the beat wideouts in this year’s draft. They as of now hold the 17th by and large determination and would ought to get to No. 8 or 9 to have a shot at selecting him or Rome Odunze.
“The Pumas have investigated moving up—and they’ve done a part of work on the beat recipients within the draft. Losing Calvin Ridley, indeed with Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis paid, makes that spot a need. Falling flat that, corner, in case either Arnold or Mitchell are accessible here, shapes up as a plausibility, as well.”
The Chicago Bears hold selections No. 1 and No. 9. There’s a 99.9 percent chance they’ll take Caleb Williams to begin with by and large but their moment choice can be pined for for groups inquisitive about moving into the beat 10. On a related note, Sheil Kapaida and Benjamin Solak have Jacksonville moving up to No. 8 to choose Nabers within the Ringer’s most recent Mock Draft.
This was a bit of a shocking choose since the Atlanta Birds of prey haven’t habitually come up as imminent exchange accomplices. At that point once more, doing trade with the Hawks or any other group shouldn’t be ruled out, particularly on the off chance that the Jags are genuine around picking Nabers or Odunze.
A two-year starter at LSU; Nabers can line up anyplace on the field and run all sorts of courses. He’s a burner who can extend the field within the flicker of an eye. To nobody’s astonish, he ran the 40-yard sprint at his Master Day in 4.35 seconds. All those characteristics permitted him to capture 89 receptions for 1,569 yards with 14 touchdowns final year.
Odunze is additionally a fine prospect who might have a gigantic affect right off the bat. Whereas he isn’t about as hazardous as Nabers, he was similarly beneficial at Washington, pulling in 87 receptions for 1,553 yards with 13 touchdowns in 2023.
Malik Nabers or Rome Odunze would be incredible but the Jaguars have choices
At No. 17, the Pumas may be in a position to choose somebody like Brian Thomas Jr., Keon Coleman or Adonai Mitchell. Be that as it may, there’s a soak dropoff from Nabers to them, which is why the Jags may be so enthusiastic to exchange up to arrive Malik Nabers or Rome Odunze.
Marvin Harrison is anticipated to be the primary recipient off the board but groups moreover have Nabers and Odunze in tall respect. In truth, a few of them have Nabers as the top collector on their board. The Pumas won’t likely have a shot at taking Harrison but they may be able to choose Nabers or indeed Odunze.
The Arizona Cardinals (No. 4) and the Los Angeles Chargers (No. 5) might take a receiver. At No. 6, the Unused York Mammoths are anticipated to go quarterback, and the Tennessee Titans are the favorite to choose hostile handle Joe Alt. For the purpose of contention, let’s say the Cardinals choose Harrison, the Jaguars would have to be trust either Odunze or Nabers final until No. 8 or 9.
On the off chance that both are gone by at that point, it won’t make sense to trade up. Heck, in case the Pumas miss on Nabers, they may feel slanted to exchange down and acquire extra picks.
The foot line is that there are distinctive ways the draft can unfurl but the Jacksonville Pumas are unquestionably trusting there won’t be an early run for recipients early within the draft.
