Several head-scratching picks by Jaguars in 7-round 2026 mock draft

With the 2026 NFL draft approaching, Pro Football Network put together a seven-round mock draft. So, who did the Jacksonville Jaguars come away with?

Although the Jaguars are without a first-round pick, GM James Gladstone does have 11 picks in total to work with -- tied for the second-most in the NFL. He also has four selections in the top 100, giving him the ability to still address key needs and the flexibility to let the board dictate what he does or move around as he sees fit.

Let's break down Alec Elijah's selections for the Jaguars.

Day 2 draft picks for Jaguars in mock

• Pick 56: Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame

• Pick 81: Romellor Height, ED, Texas Tech

• Pick 88: Isaiah World, OT, Oregon

• Pick 100: Harld Perkins Jr., LB, LSU

• Not to say that the Jaguars can't justify adding to the running back or offensive tackle positions at some point, but it certainly feels like pick No. 56 could have been better utilized elsewhere. World, meanwhile, is recovering from an ACL injury.

• Height would bolster the Jaguars' defensive end rotation. At 240 pounds, he totaled 62 quarterback pressures with nine sacks. Among all defensive ends, that was the seventh-most pressures in college football last season.

• The Jaguars seem bullish on their linebacker room even without Devin Lloyd, but adding competition remains in play.

• No defensive tackle pick in the top 100?

Early to mid Day 3 draft picks for Jaguars in mock

• Pick 124: Bryce Lance, WR, NDSU

• Pick 164: Fernando Carmona Jr., G, Arkansas

• Pick 166: Cyrus Allen, WR, Cincinnati

• Pick 203: Rayshaun Benny, IDL, Michigan

• The Jaguars' pursuit this offseason of Seattle's Jake Bobo tells us that wide receiver is on their radar. But two picks on this position group? That I'm unsure of, at least at this stage of the draft. Lance, by the way, was one of the top performers at the NFL combine.

• Somehow, the Jaguars land Benny at pick No. 203. He is No. 135 on the consensus big board and plays a position that has been more and more valued over the years. If the Jaguars wait until pick 200-plus to address defensive tackle, I wouldn't expect Benny to be on the board.

Late Day 3 draft picks for Jaguars in mock

• Pick 233: Skyler Thomas, S, Oregon State

• Pick 240: Pat Coogan, C, Indiana

• Pick 245: Cian Slone, ED, NC State

• With no roster turnover along the offensive line this offseason, there isn't room on the roster for three picks, two of which came later on Day 3.

• Edge rusher and defensive tackle need to be more heavily prioritized than how things played out here. Double-dipping at both is in play.

• With Andrew Wingard in Arizona, the Jaguars could add to safety, but I don't see it as a priority with Eric Murray, Antonio Johnson, Caleb Ransaw, and Rayuan Lane on the roster.
