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 \u2013 though not a great draft early in Round 1. &#8220;The good part is, based off where we&#8217;re mapping things out, there&#8217;s a lot of depth at positions we feel like we&#8217;re going to address,&#8221; he said. The Jaguars hold 11 selections in the draft, with the No. 56 overall selection \u2013 No. 24 in Round 2 \u2013 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. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got a really intimate and detailed understanding of who and what we want, those types of elements,&#8221; Gladstone said. &#8220;It trims the list a good bit. While there are 250-plus picks, it&#8217;s nowhere close to us saying these are our priorities, 250-plus. It&#8217;s a lot fewer and farther between. It allows us, even if we were picking earlier, to focus that conversation a little bit.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1. Good spots.
