With NFL free agency at a near standstill, we will be evaluating the current state of each Jacksonville Jaguars’ position group, specifically, where things stand and whether or not more moves need to be made.

Compared to the rest of the league, it’s been a very quiet free agency period for the Jaguars. GM James Gladstone recently explained the reason behind that, and it has to do with the 2027 compensatory draft picks the Jaguars are projected to land. I would also guess that the Jaguars‘ tight salary cap situation isn’t helping things either in that regard.

So the best avenue for addressing their remaining needs likely comes in the NFL draft, where the Jaguars have 11 picks — including four in the top 100 — and flexibility, allowing the board to dictate which direction they go at each selection.

Up next in our review are the tight ends. If you missed our other positional reviews, you can find them below.

Tight end isn’t a pressing need for the Jaguars. Leading the way is Brenton Strange, who fills a do-it-all role within the offense. Quintin Morris emerged as TE2 last season, filling a blocking-first role, while Hunter Long adds another pass-catching presence to pair with Morris behind Strange on the depth chart.

With that said, this is a position that I could see the Jaguars addressing somewhat early on in the NFL draft. With Johnny Mundt no longer on the team, there is a roster spot available. In addition to that, Morris and Long are both free agents in 2027, so beginning to plan ahead for their potential departures would be the prudent move.

This year’s tight end draft class impressed at the NFL combine, but keep in mind, the ability to block and line up in-line are important aspects to playing this position in Liam Coen’s offense.
