As it stands, the Jacksonville Jaguars won’t pick in the 2026 NFL Draft until pick 56 overall. That’s about three-quarters into the second round. The front office signed RB Chris Rodriguez Jr on a two-year deal, shoring up their backfield. However, this is the only outside player that GM James Gladstone has brought in. Therefore, I’ve taken control of the Jacksonville Jaguars in this 2026 7-round team NFL mock draft to get the organization across the finish line.

The Jaguars have one of the lowest Cap Spaces in the NFL, while also possessing one of the highest Dead Caps in the league. It won’t be easy, but Brian Lamb is taking control of the franchise to come out on the winning side of the 2026 NFL Draft.

 

Second Round – Pick 56 – Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech

The Jaguars have the ammunition to move up in the NFL Draft if they so desire. However, in this mock draft, I’m not including any trades. With that being said, I’ve got Jacksonville selecting LB Jacob Rodriguez in the second round. Rodriguez was a big part of Texas Tech’s success this season, but really burst onto the scene at the Senior Bowl. Chris Rodriguez should be a green dot in the NFL, responsible for getting his teammates into position on defense.

 

Third Round – Pick 81 – AJ Haulcy, S, LSU

Jacksonville has the opportunity to grab an old-school safety here in the third round. They also have plenty of picks coming up, which they could package together to move up the board for a particular target.

 

Third Round – Pick 88 – Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson

I don’t know if he’s ready to start right away, but adding a slot WR would be a wise decision for Jacksonville.

 

Third Round – Pick 100 – Malik Muhammad, CB, Texas

This is a compensatory pick from the Detroit Lions. With it, the Jaguars could be a cornerback capable of starting on day one in Malik Muhammad. He’d also be solid depth behind Travis Hunter, too. Just tremendous value for the Jacksonville Jaguars in this 2026 7 Round NFL Mock Draft.

 

Fourth Round – Pick 124 – Trey Zuhn III, OL, Texas A&M

At the Panini Senior Bowl, Zuhn worked with the interior offensive linemen. He’s likely a center in the NFL, but offers the versatility to play across the entire offensive line, if need be.

 

Fifth Round – Pick 164 – Zxavian Harris, DL, Ole Miss

Defensive linemen depth for Jacksonville here in the fifth round.

 

Fifth Round – Pick 166 – Vincent Anthony Jr, EDGE, Duke

Jacksonville gets quality depth here with Vincent Anthony Jr, but he also has the skill set to become an eventual starter in the NFL.

 

Sixth Round – Pick 203 – Eli Raridon, TE, Notre Dame

Eli Raridon ran faster than I expected him to at the NFL Combine, especially based on his college tape. He’s an old-school tight end capable of blocking or running vertical routes, despite not scoring a touchdown for Notre Dame in 2025.

 

Seventh Round – Pick 233 – Kaelon Black, RB, Indiana

We’ve made it to the seventh round, so let’s use these picks on some low-risk, high-reward prospects. Black looked better than advertised at the Panini Senior Bowl. If selected here, he would likely compete for the third running back spot on the roster.

 

Seventh Round – Pick 240 – Diego Pavia, QB, Vanderbilt

There’s no doubt that the starting job is Trevor Lawrence‘s. Diego Pavia elevated the Vanderbilt program throughout his time there. This move would strengthen their backup depth and give Jacksonville the opportunity to buy low and sell high if he plays well during the preseason.

 

Seventh Round – Pick 245 – Tyren Montgomery, WR, John Carroll

Montgomery was a strong performer at the Panini Senior Bowl earlier this year. His draft stock really seemed to nosedive once it was announced that he wouldn’t be invited to the NFL Combine. However, I still think there’s tremendous value there, and I’d be shocked if he’s still on the board midway through the sixth round.
