This very well may be the year of the Jags.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have put all their chips in the middle of the table for a Super Bowl run, doing so Monday with three different deals to beef up the defense, headlined by a blockbuster trade for Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis.

Jacksonville is shipping a 2027 first-round draft pick and 2029 second-round pick to Philadelphia in exchange for Davis, who was selected 13th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. He was picked 12 spots after ex-Georgia teammate and current Jags defensive end Travon Walker. (RELATED: Colts In Talks To Trade Daniel Jones With Numerous Teams Interested: REPORT)

The Davis deal finished off what was a busy day for Jacksonville, who took care of their weakest defensive spots after trading the Atlanta Falcons a 2027 second-round selection and 2028 fifth-rounder for safety Jessie Bates III in the morning hours of Monday, followed by a deal with the New Orleans Saints that saw the Jags send a conditional 2028 sixth-round pick for defensive tackle Davon Godchaux.

Tuesday's trade deadline in the NFL is at 4:00 p.m. ET.

This is the kind of aggressive front-office maneuvering that championship windows demand, and it's about time Duval County had a team playing like the hunter rather than the hunted.

As a proud Florida man, I'm all for it.

Sure, giving up a first-rounder and second-rounder stings on paper, but anyone spraying down negativity on the Jags isn't seeing the big picture.

You don't hoard picks forever just to draft guys who might turn into difference-makers when your franchise quarterback is in his prime and your roster is this close to lifting the Lombardi Trophy.

GM James Gladstone looked at a leaky secondary and a depleted defensive interior, realized the AFC is completely wide open and decided to kick the door down. Re-uniting Davis with Travon Walker gives the Jags a terrifying physical DNA up front, and stealing a proven ballhawk like Jessie Bates III patches up the back end.

At this point, how do you not have the Jacksonville Jaguars as your favorite to win the Super Bowl?
