It’s not too often in January that we see a full seven-round mock draft, so let’s take a look at who the Jacksonville Jaguars ended up selecting.
The Jaguars may not have a first-round pick after trading it away last April to move up to select Travis Hunter, but GM James Gladstone still has plenty of picks to work with, having 11 in total over the three days, including four on Day 2.
Jacob Infante of Pro Football Network put together the full seven-round mock draft. Here is who he had the Jaguars taking.
Pick 56: Xavier Scott, CB, IllinoisPick 81: Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia StatePick 88: Kage Casey, OT, Boise StatePick 100: Oscar Delp, TE, Georgia
Cornerback is a need for the Jaguars with Montaric Brown and Greg Newsome set to hit free agency. Scott has experience playing both inside and out, which could be valuable in Anthony Campanile’s defense, but most of his snaps have come from the nickel. With Jourdan Lewis and Jarrian Jones, the Jaguars do not need another nickel defender. They need outside help.

I would be surprised if the Jaguars pick a receiver in the top 100 — they have plenty of options already on the team.
Jacksonville is returning its entire starting offensive line unit in 2026 and some of its depth as well. However, I do think that adding more competition could be on Gladstone’s radar.
Tight end is a sneaky need. Quintin Morris is a free agent, while Hunter Long and Johnny Mundt each have one year left on their deals. Blocking ability is an important aspect to playing tight end in Liam Coen’s offense.
Pick 117: Taurean York, LB, Texas A&MPick 162: Rayshaun Benny, DT, MichiganPick 164: Le’Veon Moss, RB, Texas A&MPick 194: Romello Brinson, WR, SMU
Whether or not the Jaguars pick a linebacker could be dependent on what happens with Devin Lloyd in free agency. The same could be said at running back with Travis Etienne.
I don’t see the Jaguars double-dipping at wide receiver, however, and I would be surprised if it takes until pick 162 for Jacksonville to address the defensive tackle position — although I thought that last year as well.
Pick 203: Christian Gray, CB, Notre DamePick 233: Joe Fagnano, QB, UCONNPick 245: Caden Curry, EDGE, Ohio State
Cornerback could be a position where the Jaguars make multiple picks. The Jaguars seem to really like Carter Bradley as the third, developmental quarterback on the roster, but attempting to continually develop the most important position in the game is never a bad idea. And like defensive tackle, if the Jaguars don’t take a defensive end until late Day 3, I would be surprised.
