With 10 picks made in the 2026 NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars 53-man roster projection is going to look a bit different than prior to the draft.
So, taking into account the newest additions made by GM James Gladstone, let’s predict what the Jaguars’ Week 1 roster looks like.
Quarterback (2)
Trevor Lawrence, Nick Mullens
The Jaguars rostered just two quarterbacks on last season’s roster, so we’ll roll with that again.
Running back (3)
Chris Rodriguez, Bhayshul Tuten, LeQuint Allen
With no additions made at running back in the draft, that tells us that Gladstone is quite comfortable going into the season with Rodrigues, Tuten, and Allen as his top three backs.
Wide receiver (5)
Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers, Josh Cameron, CJ Williams
The additions of Cameron and Williams round out the back end of this depth chart. Travis Hunter will also be in the mix here, giving the Jaguars six wideout options.
Tight end (4)
Brenton Strange, Quintin Morris, Nate Boerkircher, Tanner Koziol
Boerkircher will push Morris for playing time, while Koziol will take Hunter Long’s roster spot as more of a pass-catching option at the position.
Offensive line (10)
Cole Van Lanen, Ezra Cleveland, Robert Hainsey, Patrick Mekari, Anton Harrison, Walker Little, Wyatt Milum, Jonah Monheim, Chuma Edoga, Emmanuel Pregnon
With no roster turnover up front, I decided not to make any cuts and went heavy along the offensive line, keeping 10 on the roster with the addition of Pregnon.
Defensive line (10)
Josh Hines-Allen, Travon Walker, Wesley Williams, Zach Durfee, BJ Green, Arik Armstead, DaVon Hamilton, Ruke Orhorhoro, Albert Regis, Matt Dickerson
In order for the roster math to work, I had to make the difficult decision between Danny Striggow and BJ Green. Ultimately, I went with Green because he played over 100 more special teams snaps last season than Striggow.
Linebacker (6)
Foye Oluokun, Dennis Gardeck, Ventrell Miller, Parker Hughes, Jalen McLeod, Jack Kiser
Hughes takes Branson Combs’ spot on the roster as the special-teams-first contributor.
Cornerback (5)
Travis Hunter, Montaric Brown, Jourdan Lewis, Jarrian Jones, Christian Braswell
The question here is whether or not someone can emerge and earn a roster spot as the sixth cornerback on the depth chart.
Safety (5)
Eric Murray, Antonio Johnson, Caleb Ransaw, Rayuan Lane, Jalen Huskey
The addition of Huskey rounds out this depth chart.
Special teams (3)
Logan Cooke, Ross Matiscik, Cam Little
No mystery here.
