JACKSONVILLE \u2013 This was a numbers game \u2013 and a quality game, too.<\/p>\n
Jaguars General Manager James Gladstone liked both parts of that game \u2013 and the Jaguars correspondingly liked a lot about a 2026 NFL Draft class that will go a long way toward forming and strengthening the foundation of the roster moving forward.<\/p>\n
Gladstone called the Jaguars’ ’26 draft “strategically bold.”<\/p>\n
“We wanted to attack the volume play as best we could while at the same time prioritizing the players we felt could level up our team moving forward,” he said.<\/p>\n
Added Gladstone, “We’re really excited about the outcome and the results and looking forward to these guys each getting a shot to hit the ground running when they arrive here in a couple of weeks.”<\/p>\n
