The Jacksonville Jaguars made a surprising choice in a unique mock draft that focused on active NFL players, opting to select Justin Herbert, the quarterback from the Los Angeles Chargers, instead of their current starter, Trevor Lawrence. This draft aimed at a 'win-now' mindset, prioritizing immediate impact players. Alongside Herbert, the Jaguars picked key positions to bolster their roster, including offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs, defensive end Danielle Hunter, and dynamic playmakers like running back Ashton Jeanty and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.

Interestingly, Lawrence was selected 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals in this scenario, illustrating a dramatic shift in team strategy. The Jaguars' draft strategy seems centered around building a strong offensive line and enhancing their defensive capabilities, which could pay dividends in the upcoming season, making their roster competitive for playoff contention.
