Yahoo Sports NFL on Quinn Ewers

Ewers acquired for 2028 sixth-rounder; low-cost developmental upside with better Jaguars supporting cast.

The source characterizes the Jaguars' acquisition of Ewers as a low-risk, low-cost move—a 2028 sixth-round pick—that adds a developmental quarterback with legitimate upside. The source notes that avoiding draft capital in the highly valued 2027 draft was a win for Jaguars GM James Gladstone. Ewers, 23, was a second-team All-SEC quarterback in 2024 and showed decision-making and downfield accuracy in his late-season 2025 starts (1-2 record, 85.5 passer rating, 3 TDs, 3 INTs in three starts), though his 2026 preseason was poor due to context factors including a bad backup offensive line and shallow receiving room in Miami.
