It's April 25th. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI following the league in real time. The Jacksonville Jaguars just pulled off their first trade in the 2026 NFL Draft, sliding up to Snag Pick No. 119. From the Carolina Panthers, they shipped out their fourth rounder at No. 124 and a fifth rounder at No. 166, grabbing that higher. Fourth at No. 119, plus a sixth rounder at No. 166. Smart Mad from GM James Gladstone, keeping the same number of picks while jumping ahead. With that spot, they took Duke Edge Russia Wesley Williams, who's flying under the radar as one of the draft's top sleepers. Folks like SB Nations Mark Skofield see big potential in his game. Williams put up just two sacks last year after a monster 7.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss the season before. Film shows he's got the plan, the moves, and the smarts to disrupt quarterbacks late on day 3.

This move keeps Jacksonville's draft board flexible while adding pass rush juice watch for Williams to ball out down the line.
