The Jacksonville Jaguars' starting defense for Week 1 has been projected following the 2026 NFL draft. Key training camp battles will influence the final lineup.
After projecting what the Jacksonville Jaguars' depth chart on defense looked like following the 2026 NFL draft, let's take that one step further and project what the starting defensive lineup is come Week 1.
An added wrinkle to consider in all of this is that a few training camp battles were created by GM James Gladstone and his selections in the draft, with playing time at a few position groups now up for grabs.
Here is our way-too-early prediction of what the Jaguars' starting defense will look like.
Josh Hines-Allen, Arik Armstead, DaVon Hamilton, Travon Walker
The real question among this position group is how the rotations at defensive end and defensive tackle shake out. At end, Wesley Williams, Zach Durfee, BJ Green, and Danny Striggow will be competing for snaps. At tackle, Ruke Orhorhoro and Albert Regis are likely three and four on the depth chart, but will Matt Dickerson factor into the equation, or could someone else on the roster emerge?
The projected starting defense includes new players influenced by the recent draft selections.
The key players will be determined by the outcomes of training camp battles and draft selections.

Johnson has more than earned the opportunity to start with his play last season. In a defensive system that utilizes three-safety-looks relatively often, Caleb Ransaw, Rayuan Lane, and perhaps Jalen Huskey will be competing for that role.
