Original terms of the Jakobi Meyers trade between the Jaguars and Raiders What did the Raiders do with the pick […]
Looking for cornerback help last season, the Jacksonville Jaguars did a surprise corner-for-corner swap with the Cleveland Browns, trading Greg Newsome for Tyson Campbell with some draft capital attached to the deal. Both players were coming from far different situations. Newsome was on the final year of his rookie deal and had been inconsistent over […]
With the No. 164 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Tanner Koziol, tight end, Houston. The Jags are continuing to bolster their tight end room after Sean McVay used 3-TE sets to great success in 2025. Koziol now joins a group that includes Brenton Strange, Quintin Morris, and fellow rookie Nate […]
With the No. 119 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Wesley Williams, EDGE defender, Duke. Consider the pass rush addressed, I guess? Williams, a maestro at blocking kicks on special teams, is a Jaguars-type pick in that he falls under the “intangibly rich” bucket without carrying any eye-popping traits. “I think […]
We’ve got our first draft trade, y’all! The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to trade picks with the Carolina Panthers to move up to pick No. 119 in the 2026 NFL Draft. Jacksonville traded a fourth-rounder (No. 124) and a fifth-rounder (No. 166) to Carolina for a slightly higher fourth-rounder (No. 119) and a sixth-rounder (No. 196). […]

The draft also means finalizing past trades that included future draft picks, including one from 2024 between the Minnesota Vikings and the Jacksonville Jaguars involving offensive tackle Cam Robinson.

After a quiet first day of the draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected tight end Nate Boerkircher, defensive tackle Albert Regis, offensive guard Emmanuel Pregnon, and safety Jalen Huskey with their four second-day picks. There were mixed reactions to the Jaguars’ selections, so I gathered some, along with highlights, and more. Poz announcing the 56th pick: […]
With the No. 100 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Jalen Huskey, safety, Maryland. After letting veteran Andrew “Dewey” Wingard walk in free agency, the Jags had to find someone to fill his role as a backup safety and core special teams contributor. Huskey figures to immediately challenge for that spot […]
The Jacksonville Jaguars are heading into the 2026 NFL Draft without a first-round pick after the Travis Hunter trade last year, but that doesn’t mean they’re devoid of capital. Jacksonville holds 11 draft picks heading into the weekend, including three third-rounders, thanks to a smart draft day trade they made last offseason. With the Detroit […]
With the No. 88 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Pregnon, offensive guard, Oregon. That’s more like it! After reaching up the board for former Texas A&M Aggies Nate Boerkircher and Albert Regis, the Jaguars found value with its third pick by nabbing Pregnon (41st on the consensus board) before he […]
With the No. 81 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Albert Regis, defensive tackle, Texas A&M. Defensive tackle was perhaps the top need for the Jaguars entering this draft weekend. The unit could absolutely use some pass rush juice, but some run-stopping insurance was needed as well, as 29-year-old DaVon Hamilton […]
The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted Nate Boerkircher with their first pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. Shocker! To help fill in fans on the surprise selection, we heard from two key members of the Jaguars’ brass in quick interviews with team reporter Kainani Stevens. “We certainly engaged in dialogue with other clubs surrounding what paths might […]
With the No. 56 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected tight end Nate Boerkircher, tight end, Texas A&M. The Jaguars figured to add to the position at some point this weekend after parting ways with Johnny Mundt earlier this offseason. Plus, Jacksonville and the rest of the league just watched Sean […]
This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans if they were ok with the team not trading back in to make a pick in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. A whopping 90% of respondents are just fine with Jacksonville’s Round 1 approach. An aggressive trade-up wouldn’t have made much sense. As we previewed […]
The first 32 picks of the 2026 NFL Draft has come and gone, and for the first time in franchise history, the Jacksonville Jaguars did not make a Round 1 selection.

No pick? No problem! That seems to be the new normal for the new regime in Jacksonville. As Thursday night in Pittsburgh came and went without the Jacksonville Jaguars calling a name, a quiet piece of franchise history went into the record books. For the first time in the team’s 32-year history, the organization did […]

James Gladstone didn’t fail to impress in his first draft as the Jacksonville Jaguars general manager last offseason, trading up with the Cleveland Browns in a blockbuster move to select two-way star Travis Hunter at No. 2 overall. In return, the Browns moved down three spots, while acquiring some major additional capital for the future. […]

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 […]
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 […]
