The Jacksonville Jaguars don’t have a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft… but 26 others do! To predict Round 1, I called on Keanu Kargar, a Jags fan who had the second-most accurate mock among thousands of entries in 2021. Here’s how Keanu sees tonight unfolding. 1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana […]
With the NFL Draft just mere hours from beginning, one of the NFL’s top young receivers could be on the move. Per Mike Florio of NBC Sports, the Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to trade into the first round, and Brian Thomas Jr. could be part of a trade package. “As the draft approaches, we’re told […]
The San Francisco 49ers are looking to add a wide receiver. The 49ers are also in a position where most of the top wideouts might be off the board by the time they’re on the clock. There are plenty of plausible scenarios in which the Niners find themselves on the clock and don’t like any […]
Barring a last-second surprise, the Jacksonville Jaguars will not participate in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Its original 24th overall pick was traded to the Cleveland Browns in a package for WR/CB Travis Hunter during Round 1 of last year’s draft. If the Jaguars happen to move into the first round after this […]
As much as everyone likes to harp on drafting the best available players, every team prioritizes positions of need on its board. The Jacksonville Jaguars are a good bet to add pass rush depth behind Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, linebacker competition to compensate for Devin Lloyd’s departure, and big-bodied skill players to diversify Liam […]
The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off tomorrow! For the first time in franchise history, the Jaguars will not have a first-round pick. The Jags have 11 picks (for now) this year. Let’s take a look at the players most recently drafted by the team in those draft slots. Round 2, Pick 56: DT Larry Smith […]
Here’s a hypothetical. What if the Jacksonville Jaguars never drafted Travis Hunter at second overall in the 2025 NFL Draft — because they never got the opportunity to? Let’s say, hypothetically, that the two-way phenom decided to take a gap year after winning the 2024 Heisman Trophy and before entering the league. Let’s also assume […]
For a long time, draft season was the season in Duval County. The question of “Which college prospects are going to turn around my Jacksonville Jaguars?” came to mind well before the end of each regular season. No more! The 2026 draft cycle has been boring as heck — but in a good way. Liam […]
At the NFL’s annual league meeting in Phoenix in late March, Jacksonville Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said the franchise will exercise the fifth-year contract option on offensive tackle Anton Harrison, according to Ryan O’Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. A few days before the 2026 NFL Draft, and well before the league’s May 1 deadline […]
Players are back in the building at the Miller Electric Center today as the Jacksonville Jaguars begin the first phase of their 2026 offseason workout program. “Feels like the ‘26 season kinda gettin’ started- gettin’ a kickoff in a lot of ways,” head coach Liam Coen said to begin Monday’s media availability. “Great to get […]
With Thursday night kicking off the 2026 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars are currently expected to add somewhere between 15 and 18 undrafted free agents (UDFAs) following this weekend’s action in Pittsburgh, per OverTheCap. Of course, this figure depends on post-draft veteran signings, potential draft day trades, and unforeseen offseason cuts shaping the 2026 roster. […]
Friday afternoon, the Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to trade defensive tackle Maason Smith to the Atlanta Falcons for defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro. ESPN first reported on the news of the player-for-player trade that saw the two teams swap DTs who had fallen out of favor with their respective new front offices. While trade details have yet […]
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ first trade of the 2026 offseason is officially in the books! The Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons have exchanged third-year defensive tackles. Ruke Orhorhoro (Oh-row-row-row), the 35th overall pick in 2024, is now headed to Duval. Maason Smith, the 48th pick in the same draft class, is en route to the ATL. Over […]
It isn’t very often that you see two players from the same draft class traded for one another just two years after they were drafted, and it’s even less often that you see that happen with a player one franchise moved up for in that particular draft class. Yet Adam Schefter is reporting that the […]
The NFL Draft is less than a week away, and the rumor mill is in full swing. With James Gladstone and his front office team readying the war room, here are three bold moves the Jacksonville Jaguars could make next weekend: Splash trade for an impact player on defense When it comes to the NFL […]
With the defensive tackle group already in the books, the next stop in this series shifts to another position that could very much be in play when the Jaguars are on the clock at 56 overall: linebacker. The need here is pretty straightforward. With the departure of Devin Lloyd in free agency, Jacksonville loses a […]
We are officially less than one week away from the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh! While franchise history is being made on Thursday with the team not having a first-round pick for the first time, sights are set on Friday night, and who better to announce a Day Two pick for the team than Jags […]
The Jacksonville Jaguars may not say cornerback is a pressing need heading into April, but actions — and injuries — tend to speak louder than pre-draft messaging. With Travis Hunter working his way back from late-season LCL surgery and Jourdan Lewis returning from foot surgery, the Jaguars could suddenly find themselves in a familiar but uncomfortable spot: […]
With just a week and change until the Las Vegas Raiders go on the clock to start the 2026 NFL Draft, now’s a good time to check in on popular mock fits for the Jacksonville Jaguars at pick No. 56 and beyond. Though the Jags don’t own a first-rounder this year due to the Travis […]
The Cleveland Browns appear set with the top two spots at cornerback with Denzel Ward, still one of the best at the position in the league, and Tyson Campbell, who did a nice job after coming over from the Jacksonville Jaguars in a mid-season trade. After those two, however, things get a bit dicey. Martin […]
This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans if they would have offered defensive end Travon Walker more or less than the $27.5 annual salary he signed for. It was a close call, but over half of the respondents said they would’ve offered him less. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Walker has the 36th-lowest odds to win […]
Jaguars News: Travis Hunter to Full-Time Cornerback for 2026 Season NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that the Jaguars intend to deploy Hunter as a full-time cornerback and part-time receiver when the 2026 season kicks off. The organization confirmed Hunter is on track to be a full participant by the start of training camp [...]
As the Jacksonville Jaguars’ executive vice president of football operations, Tony Boselli wears many hats. The Hall of Fame player is now responsible for overseeing player engagement, football technology, football travel and logistics, equipment, sports performance, team security, and football communications, according to the team’s announcement of his hire last February. One of his additional […]
