Jaguars Draft Focus: Strengthen Defense Early
Analysts predict the Jacksonville Jaguars will prioritize defense in the 2026 NFL Draft, with most projecting their first pick (number 56 in round 2) to go to a cornerback, linebacker, or edge defender. Other defensive positions like safety and defensive tackle also surface, while running back and wide receiver receive some attention. Notable players mentioned include Arizona States Keith Abney, Texas Techs Jacob Rodriguez, Oklahomas R Mason Thomas, and Penn States Zakee Wheatley. The Jaguars hold eleven total picks, with some acquired through trades with teams like the Lions, 49ers, and Eagles. As free agency concludes, all eyes are on general manager James Gladstones use of this defensive-heavy draft class to build momentum for the upcoming league year.
