As it stands, the Jacksonville Jaguars won\u2019t pick in the 2026 NFL Draft until pick 56 overall. That\u2019s 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\u2019ve taken control of the Jacksonville Jaguars in this 2026 7-round team NFL mock draft to get the organization across the finish line.<\/p>\n
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\u2019t be easy, but Brian Lamb is taking control of the franchise to come out on the winning side of the 2026 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

Second Round \u2013 Pick 56 \u2013 Jacob Rodriguez<\/a>, LB, Texas Tech<\/p>\n The Jaguars have the ammunition to move up in the NFL Draft if they so desire. However, in this mock draft, I\u2019m not including any trades. With that being said, I\u2019ve got Jacksonville selecting LB Jacob Rodriguez in the second round. Rodriguez was a big part of Texas Tech\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Third Round \u2013 Pick 81 \u2013 AJ Haulcy, S, LSU<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Third Round \u2013 Pick 88 \u2013 Antonio Williams<\/a>, WR, Clemson<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s ready to start right away, but adding a slot WR would be a wise decision for Jacksonville.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Third Round \u2013 Pick 100 \u2013 Malik Muhammad<\/a>, CB, Texas<\/p>\n 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\u2019d also be solid depth behind Travis Hunter<\/a>, too. Just tremendous value for the Jacksonville Jaguars in this 2026 7 Round NFL Mock Draft.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Fourth Round \u2013 Pick 124 \u2013 Trey Zuhn III, OL, Texas A&M<\/p>\n At the Panini Senior Bowl, Zuhn worked with the interior offensive linemen. He\u2019s likely a center in the NFL, but offers the versatility to play across the entire offensive line, if need be.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Fifth Round \u2013 Pick 164 \u2013 Zxavian Harris<\/a>, DL, Ole Miss<\/p>\n Defensive linemen depth for Jacksonville here in the fifth round.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Fifth Round \u2013 Pick 166 \u2013 Vincent Anthony Jr, EDGE, Duke<\/p>\n Jacksonville gets quality depth here with Vincent Anthony Jr, but he also has the skill set to become an eventual starter in the NFL.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Sixth Round \u2013 Pick 203 \u2013 Eli Raridon<\/a>, TE, Notre Dame<\/p>\n Eli Raridon ran faster than I expected him to at the NFL Combine, especially based on his college tape. He\u2019s an old-school tight end capable of blocking or running vertical routes, despite not scoring a touchdown for Notre Dame in 2025.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Seventh Round \u2013 Pick 233 \u2013 Kaelon Black<\/a>, RB, Indiana<\/p>\n We\u2019ve made it to the seventh round, so let\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Seventh Round \u2013 Pick 240 \u2013 Diego Pavia<\/a>, QB, Vanderbilt<\/p>\n
