Jaguars Trade for Quinn Ewers in the Most 2028 Day 3 Pick Swap Ever

The Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars just pulled off a trade that sounds less like a blockbuster and more like two guys trading half-eaten sandwiches in the cafeteria.

According to Adam Schefter, Jacksonville is acquiring quarterback Quinn Ewers from Miami. The cost to get the deal done is a swap of 2028 Day 3 draft picks. Yes, we are now trading NFL assets for a draft that will feature kids who are currently learning how to drive.

"Adam Schefter reported the Jaguars and Dolphins are swapping 2028 day 3 picks in exchange for QB Quinn Ewers."

This move was basically written on the wall in permanent marker the second Miami handed Malik Willis a three-year, $67.5 million contract this offseason. You do not pay a guy that kind of money to look over his shoulder at a 2025 seventh-round pick who threw for 622 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions last year.

Ewers actually started the final three games of the 2025 season for the Dolphins, managing a 1-2 record while the team was trying to figure out its future. He also brings a medical chart that reads like a WebMD doom scroll, featuring everything from a Grade 3 ankle sprain to a Grade 1 knee strain over the last couple of years.

For Jacksonville, this is a zero-risk dart throw. They just shut out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19-0 in preseason action and clearly wanted another arm in the building to round out the depth chart. If you are the type of sicko betting on preseason second-half point totals, Ewers is now your primary variable.

Ewers gets a fresh start in a new Florida city, and Miami gets slightly better positioning in the late rounds of a draft four years from now. Expect Ewers to immediately start fighting for clipboard duties in Jacksonville as final roster cuts approach.
