1. Good spots. While the Jaguars do not currently have a Round 1 selection in the April 23-25 2026 NFL Draft, Gladstone said he likes their position in what analysts believe is a deep draft – though not a great draft early in Round 1. “The good part is, based off where we’re mapping things out, there’s a lot of depth at positions we feel like we’re going to address,” he said. The Jaguars hold 11 selections in the draft, with the No. 56 overall selection – No. 24 in Round 2 – their earliest selection. They hold three third-round selections, a fourth-round selection, two fifth-round selections, a sixth-round selection and three seventh-round selections. “We’ve got a really intimate and detailed understanding of who and what we want, those types of elements,” Gladstone said. “It trims the list a good bit. While there are 250-plus picks, it’s nowhere close to us saying these are our priorities, 250-plus. It’s a lot fewer and farther between. It allows us, even if we were picking earlier, to focus that conversation a little bit.”
