Jaguars pay a 2027 first and a 2029 second for Eagles DT Jordan Davis, their third defender in a day

The Jacksonville Jaguars made the biggest move of the NFL trade deadline run-up on Monday, Nov. 9, acquiring Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick. The Eagles announced the deal themselves, in a statement CBS Sports embedded in its report. The deadline is today, Nov. 10.

Three defenders, five picks, one day

Davis was the third defender Jacksonville added on Monday, according to CBS Sports' deadline tracker. The full ledger:

CBS tallies the day's outgoing capital as a 2027 first, a 2027 second, a 2028 fifth, a 2028 sixth and a 2029 second. The Godchaux pick is conditional: per ESPN, as relayed by CBS, it becomes a 2027 sixth-rounder if Jacksonville acquires one.

Why Jacksonville did it

The Jaguars are 6-2 and lead the AFC South. CBS says they entered Monday with the No. 2 scoring defense in the league at 15.1 points per game, and the No. 4 scoring offense at 28.6. The Godchaux move followed DaVon Hamilton's torn quad in Week 8, and the Bates move followed the loss of Eric Murray for the year with an elbow injury, CBS reports.

Davis was the 13th overall pick in the 2022 draft out of Georgia and started on the Eagles' Super Bowl LIX team. Unlike Bates, a rental expected to hit free agency, Davis comes with a contract: Philadelphia extended him this past offseason on a three-year, 8 million deal, CBS notes.

The grades, and where they disagree

CBS gave the Jaguars a B- and the Eagles an A in its Davis grades. Its argument: the timing is right, the price is rich. It compares the cost with what Chicago paid Tennessee for Jeffery Simmons (2027 and 2028 first-round picks plus a 2027 fourth) and notes Davis has 9.5 career sacks, against 17 over the last two seasons for Simmons. CBS also says Davis is a run-game force at 6-foot-6 and 336 pounds.

The rest of the Jacksonville grades from CBS's tracker: Bates deal, Jaguars B and Falcons B+; Godchaux deal, Jaguars B+ and Saints B. The Bleeding Green Nation headline on the board says ESPN called the trade "a disaster" for Jacksonville, so the grades are not unanimous. We could not read that ESPN piece and do not characterize it beyond that headline.

The Eagles' rebuild math

Philadelphia is 2-7 on a seven-game losing streak, with quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined by blood clots, CBS reports. It counts 10 picks in the first two rounds across the next three drafts: its own first and second each year, plus Jacksonville's 2027 first, New England's 2028 first (the A.J. Brown trade), Baltimore's 2028 second (the Cam Jurgens trade) and Jacksonville's 2029 second. CBS also notes the Eagles already committed $152 million over four years to Jalen Carter, which it says made keeping both tackles unlikely.

What else the tracker shows

• Chicago gave Tennessee 2027 and 2028 first-round picks and a 2027 fourth for Simmons (Oct. 29); CBS grades the Bears A- and the Titans C+.
• Indianapolis sold Quenton Nelson to Seattle (2027 third, 2028 fifth) and DeForest Buckner to San Francisco (2027 fourth) on Oct. 27.
• Detroit got safety Andre Cisco from the Jets for a 2028 sixth on Monday.
• Baltimore added quarterback Jacoby Brissett from Arizona (Nov. 4) after injuries to Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.

CBS lists Jonathan Taylor, Khalil Mack and George Pickens among names still on the trade watch. This article reflects deals completed through Monday; check back as the deadline passes.
