Jaguars' 2026 draft class gets jersey numbers; 5 veterans make changes

The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced the jersey numbers for their 2026 draft class, along with a handful of returning players who changed numbers as well.

The Jaguars would end up making 10 picks in this year's draft, and many analysts are largely underwhelmed by the selections GM James Gladstone made.

Likely hurting the Jaguars' draft grades were how some picks compared to the consensus draft board. But as Gladstone described, there is a specific vision that he had in mind with those picks.

"We ended up with four guys who fit the bill for exactly what we're hunting up and feel like we were able to level up in a few different areas that going into 2026, we were really excited about addressing," Gladstone said on Friday. "As the trends across the NFL begin to show themselves, not only over the last season, but the back half of the season and what we anticipate being big pieces to the puzzle over the course of this next season I think that was a real reflection of the decisions that we made."
