Top three needs: DT, edge, LB.
The Jaguars led the NFL in rush defense in 2025 but struggled rushing the passer (ranked 27th with 32 total sacks). Other than Arik Armstead (5.5 sacks), there was minimal pressure from the interior. That put the burden on edge rushers Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, who combined for 11.5 sacks. Armstead is 32 with a $19.4 million cap figure, so there's a chance the team moves on from him as a post-June 1 release. The biggest offensive need is adding another running back alongside Chris Rodriguez Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten. Travis Etienne Jr. signed with the Saints in free agency.
With no picks in the top 50 spots but 11 selections overall, do you see the Jaguars looking to move up?
Not likely. GM James Gladstone has talked openly about liking having a barrel of picks because it offers flexibility to make moves - not just in the draft but during camp and the season. It would take a big package, which may include next year's first-round pick, to move back into the first round. It would have to be for a player at an impact position like edge rusher (one of their top needs), but it's considered a deep class. They could get one using one of their four picks from 56-100.
