Dalton Wasserman of Pro Football Focus put together a pre-NFL combine three-round mock draft. So let’s break down the Jacksonville Jaguars selections.

As we know, the Jaguars do not have a first-round pick, but with four selections in the top 100, the opportunity for James Gladstone to bolster the roster with some immediate help very much exists.

Let’s dive in.

Pick 56: S Kamari Ramsey, USC

Ramsey played all over the defensive backfield but saw the bulk of his snaps come in the slot or at deep safety. For his career, he’s allowed just 8.4 yards per catch with two interceptions and 11 pass breakups.

Andrew Wingard is a free agent for the Jaguars, but I don’t know how big a need safety is, or at least that it has to be addressed in Round 2. Still on the roster are Antonio Johnson and Eric Murray, not to mention that the Jaguars just drafted Caleb Ransaw and Rayuan Lane last April.

Pick 81: C Jake Slaughter, Florida

Slaughter played over 2,100 career snaps and has been superb. He’s allowed just four sacks and 22 pressures during that span, along with grading out quite well as a run blocker by PFF’s metrics.

The Jaguars will have really no turnover from 2025 to 2026 on the offensive line. However, that doesn’t mean that there can’t be more competition added. Down the stretch last season, the Jaguars’ run game struggled to get going.

Whether or not the Jaguars address center at this point in the draft to potentially push Robert Hainsey will depend on how they feel about Jonah Monheim.

Pick 88: RB Jonah Coleman, Washington

Even if Travis Etienne leaves in free agency, the Jaguars don’t have to spend a top 100 pick on running back after just selecting Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen in the 2025 draft. Depth will be needed, but an early-round pick doesn’t have to be utilized to accomplish that.

Coleman rushed for 1,060 yards in 2024 and 758 yards in 2025, averaging over 5.0 yards per attempt during that span with 25 touchdowns. He was relatively active in the passing game as well.

Pick 100: TE Sam Roush, Stanford

Rousch was a big part of the passing game, totaling 80 targets last season, while averaging 11.1 yards per catch. The tight end being able to hold their own as a blocker in the run game is a key part of playing in the Liam Coen offense.

Tight end is an under-the-radar need with Quintin Morris a free agent, along with Johnny Mundt and Hunter Long entering contract years.

Final thoughts

It feels like the Jaguars missed an opportunity to address their defensive front with four picks in the top 100. It’s a deep edge rusher class, while defensive tackle is one of the team’s biggest needs.

Also, if Devin Lloyd signs elsewhere, does linebacker become a greater priority?
