JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jaguars continued their retooling in the NFL draft on Friday night, making a flurry of trades before making back-to-back picks in the third round.

Jacksonville drafted Tulane cornerback Caleb Ransaw with pick No. 88 and followed by selecting guard Wyatt Milum from West Virginia at 89 to put a bow on their second day of selections.

Jacksonville sent pick Nos. 70 (third round), 182 (sixth round) and a 2026 sixth rounder to Detroit for pick No. 102 this year and a pair of third-round selections in 2026. They then flipped Nos. 102 and 142 to the Texans for 89 and a seventh-round pick on Saturday (236).

Jacksonville will round out its draft class on Saturday in Rounds 4-7 with six selections (two in the fourth, two in the sixth and two in the seventh).

They made their original selection at No. 88 to get Ransaw, then nabbed Milum after a trade with the Texans. Ransaw wasn’t a big takeaway corner in college, but he has elite speed. Ransaw was clocked at 4.33 in the 40-yard dash and he has positional versatility that will allow him to switch between corner and safety. He spent three seasons at Troy and had just one interception. In his senior season at Tulane, he had 34 tackles and a sack.

Milum (6-6, 317 pounds) is a four-year starter at tackle who has a solid upside as a pass blocker. He was projected as a Day 2 pick and is likely going to play on the inside in the NFL.
