The Jacksonville Jaguars will be making their first picks of the 2026 NFL draft on Friday, and we will be tracking each selection made from Round 2 through Round 7.
As of now, the Jaguars are scheduled to have 11 picks in this year’s draft, which includes four picks in the top 100. This gives GM James Gladstone ample flexibility to let the board dictate which direction he goes, not to mention he’ll have the ability to move up and down as needed.
As each pick comes in, we will be breaking down all 11 selections right here in one place, in addition to our other coverage.
Jaguars pick DB Jalen Huskey at pick 100
Huskey adds another versatile presence to the secondary. Huskey could also play a key role on special teams early on, specifically on the punt coverage team as a personal protector. He may be more likely to provide depth on defense early on.
Jaguars pick OL Emmanuel Pregnon at pick 88
Pregnon adds size to the Jaguars’ interior offensive line, measuring in at 6-04 and weighing 314 pounds. It’s not a secret that Coen wants to be a more effective rushing offense this season, which could lead to more competition along the offensive line this summer.
Jaguars pick DT Albert Regis at pick 81
Regis was a run-first defender and will boost the Jaguars’ rotational depth behind DaVon Hamilton. He was also quite effective at getting his hands up and batting down passes.
Jaguars pick TE Nate Boerkircher at pick 56
He filled a blocking-first role in college, and can do the same with the Jaguars, competing with Quintin Morris for snaps and also giving Coen the flexibility to use more three-tight-end sets. However, the Jaguars also believe Boerkircher possesses upside as a pass catcher.
