With the 2026 NFL draft approaching, Chad Reuter<\/a> of NFL.com put together a five-round mock draft. So how did things play out for the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Let’s break down how things unfolded.<\/p>\n

Below are each of the selections made by the Jaguars<\/a> on Days 2 and 3 of this mock, followed by our takeaways.<\/p>\n

Pick 56: Rayshaun Benny, DT, Michigan<\/p>\n

Pick 81: Max Klare, TE, Ohio State<\/p>\n

Pick 88: Kyle Louis, LB, Pitt<\/p>\n

Pick 100: Tacario Davis, CB, Washington<\/p>\n

Takeaways from Jaguars’ Day 2 picks in 5-round mock draft<\/p>\n

– Defensive tackle is the biggest need the Jaguars have. Addressing it right away would be a huge plus — although, in part, that will be dictated by how the board falls.<\/p>\n

– As we discussed earlier this offseason, tight end is an under-the-radar need<\/a> for the Jaguars. This pick also highlights the flexibility<\/a> that James Gladstone has in this year’s draft.<\/p>\n

– With Devin Lloyd now in Carolina, the starting spot next to Foye Oluokun is up for grabs. And while GM\u00a0James Gladstone seems bullish<\/a>\u00a0about the talent already on the\u00a0Jaguars<\/a>‘ roster at linebacker,\u00a0particularly Ventrell Miller, adding some additional competition wouldn’t be a bad thing either.<\/p>\n

– Re-signing Montaric Brown stabilized the cornerback position for the Jaguars, but this is still a position we likely see the Jaguars add to.<\/p>\n

Pick 124: Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State<\/p>\n

Pick 164: Caleb Douglas, WR, Texas Tech<\/p>\n

Pick 166: Patrick Payton, EDGE, LSU<\/p>\n

Takeaways from Jaguars’ Day 3 picks in 5-round mock draft<\/p>\n

– A lot of mock drafts have the Jaguars picking a running back in the third or fourth round range. I don’t doubt that they could make a pick at this position, but with Chris Roriguez, Bhayshul Tuten, and LeQuint Allen on the roster, I do question whether the Jaguars make that selection this early.<\/p>\n

– Jacksonville’s pursuit of Jake Bobo told us that they are still interested in adding to the wide receiver position.<\/p>\n

– Ideally, the Jaguars would address EDGE rusher before the fifth-round. This should be a position they double-dip at to increase competition on the back end of the depth chart as much as possible.<\/p>\n
