The NFL Draft going international has hit a slight snag.
The Jaguars flew second-year defensive tackle Mike Bennett to London to announce pick No. 146, a fifth-round pick, on Saturday. But not long after the second round started Friday, the Jaguars traded that pick to the Ravens as part of their move up to select linebacker Myles Jack.
Bennett was watching in London.
“Thanks for the flight!” Bennett tweeted.
The Jaguars have a commitment to play one home game in London every year through at least 2020, and as part of that deal they’re having fans in London announce some picks on Saturday. Bennett made the trip this year because his selection was announced in London last year.
A slight audible will be called, and Bennett seems to know he’ll announce another pick on Saturday.
“That’s one hell of a trade,” Bennett wrote in a follow-up tweet.
