The Jacksonville Jaguars have concluded the 2026 NFL Draft cycle after adding 28 players via the draft and undrafted free agency process.
The team’s roster is currently set at 92 players with a one-player exception for International Pathway Player (IPP), offensive lineman Zilian Zierer. That means, Jacksonville will need to release one player if all 28 players sign their expected rookie deals.
The Jaguars exited the draft feeling the team added a number of players who will elevate the team’s floor and depth. Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said after the draft that the theme of the three-day event was volume. The team had 10 draft picks in addition to 18 players agreeing to terms in Undrafted Free Agency.
While it’s only April, we took at look at the team’s roster and projected what the 53-man roster may look like during the regular season.
