Expert 2026 NFL Draft coverage — mock drafts, scouting reports, TDN100 player rankings, prospect interviews, and the #1 Mock Draft Simulator.
The Jacksonville Jaguars won 13 games and the AFC South in 2025. The Jaguars now have their sights set on making a long playoff run and establishing themselves as a premier team in the AFC. Jacksonville has the No.
56 overall pick and 11 in total in 2026. Let’s see how they can best use those picks to keep control of the AFC South. We’ve conducted a seven-round Jaguars mock draft using our This may feel a little like a luxury pick for Jacksonville, but if a talent like Jadarian Price makes it to No. 56, they should take a swing—especially given the perceived drop-off at the position after him. The Jaguars have Bhayshul Tuten, LeQuint Allen, and Chris Rodriguez Jr. as their top backfield options for 2026. Price can serve as the primary RB option on early downs while also being a major threat on kick returns.Malachi Lawrence may end up going a little higher than this once we get to the draft, but it feels like the 60-90 range is his sweet spot right now. He’s got the size and length you desire for an edge rusher with a hot motor. I like that he already has a solid set of counter moves and isn’t overly reliant on any singular rush technique. He’ll be a solid third EDGE behind Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker early on, with the ability to grow from there.Arik Armstead and DaVon Hamilton are entering the final year of their deals in 2026. Maason Smith hasn't yet proven he's a long-term answer, either. So let's add to the defensive line here. stands at 6-foot-5 and 330 pounds. He has the requisite size for the position with good athleticism to boot. He should be an impact run defender right away. Don't be surprised if he's an instant contributor on early downs as a rookie.Georgia’s offense doesn’t always highlight the best individual traits of each player, so unless you’re Brock Bowers, you can get lost in the shadow of the overall unit. That’s what happened to . Delp is a strong route runner, alignment versatile, and can thrive as a RAC guy in the middle of the field. He wowed at his Pro Day on Mar. 18. has good size and length, plus the skill set to play on the boundary or as a nickelback. He has a ton of college experience and has made big plays in big games. His 4.38s 40-yard dash was noticed at the NFL Combine. He’s better in zone than man, but he has a lot of the tools you’d desire for a cornerback.Taking the Jaguars at their word that Travis Hunter will be primarily a cornerback moving forward, I’d like to see them add a wide receiver early on day three that can help complement their current trio of Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Parker Washington. is a big receiver with a big catch radius, but he’s a fluid mover as well. He can help the Jaguars in the red zone as a big slot or outside receiver.Travis Burke met with Jacksonville virtually and with the small group they sent to Indianapolis to the 2026 NFL Combine. Burke is a massive man at 6-foot-9 and 325 pounds with 34.25-inch arms. He’s got plenty to work on if he’s going to be an everyday starter in the NFL, but his length, heavy hands, and a finisher’s mentality should help earn him enough chances to work on his game.Robert Spears-Jennings is an intriguing prospect to take a chance on here. He’s 6-foot-2, 205 pounds with a 4.32 40-yard dash and plays the game like a linebacker. He’s a strong special teams player, where he’ll have to cut his teeth early on in the NFL, but I think he can develop into a solid in-the-box safety with time.Jaguars assistant linebackers coach Kevin Wilkins has a Michigan background and may help push for a player like Jimmy Rolder here in round seven. He doesn’t have a lot of college experience, starting just 11 games, but he looks NFL-ready as a run defender. He could be a draft-and-develop gem if his game progresses with more on-field action in the NFL.Behren Morton is tough, competitive, and can execute RPOs well. But he has a long injury history and lacks the arm strength/velocity to threaten defenses deep or in the honey hole. He is a passer some are intrigued by, however, so he could be worth a dart throw here as a potential option to start on the practice squad with the hope of developing into a QB2.Jager Burton is best at center, but I think he can be a backup guard as well. He’s quick, has adequate strength, and just doesn’t miss football games. Get him in your locker room and I bet he carves out a role for himself long-term as a backup and spot starter.
