With the Lions trying to trade down from the No. 3 pick Thursday night, we've heard a lot about the Dolphins. Ditto the Chargers. The Giants have entered the mix as well. 

Here's another team to watch: the Jaguars. 

Per Adam Schefter, Jacksonville GM Dave Caldwell called Bob Quinn late Thursday afternoon to inquire about a potential trade. 

Here’s something worth monitoring tonight: Jaguars’ GM Dave Caldwell just called Lions’ GM Bob Quinn about this evening’s picks, per source.

The Jags are currently picking No. 9. They also have pick No. 20, which would be a good starting point in a trade with Detroit. Their second-rounder (No. 42) or third-rounder (No. 73) would likely have to be in play as well. 

Quinn doesn't want to move out of the draft's first tier of players, so it would take a lot to convince him to slide to No. 9. 
Could the Jags go for it? They're rumored to be eyeing a quarterback, and Pete Prisco of CBS Sports has them trading up to No. 4 for Justin Herbert in his final mock draft. 

One spot further would likely guarantee Jacksonville its choice between Herbert and Tua Tagovaiola. And it would likely guarantee Detroit two first-round picks, which might be enough for Quinn to start giving it some thought.
