The Jacksonville Jaguars <\/a>don’t have a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft. That selection was traded away in 2025 when the team moved up to pick Travis Hunter.<\/p>\n

However, that doesn’t mean that GM James Gladstone doesn’t have flexibility and numerous picks at his disposal either.<\/p>\n

Although without a first-round pick, the Jaguars<\/a> have four selections in the top 100, which includes three picks in the third round.<\/p>\n

That provides Gladstone the opportunity to still add impactful, ready-to-help players to this roster — or he could use some of those picks to move around the draft board.<\/p>\n

In total, the Jaguars still have nine draft picks in total.<\/p>\n

According to Spotrac<\/a>, here is a list of the Jaguars’ 2026 NFL draft selections:<\/p>\n

Round 5 (from San Francisco)<\/p>\n

Round 6 (from Philadelphia)<\/p>\n

Whether it’s in the draft, offseason, training camp, or in-season, Gladstone has shown he’s more than willing to make a trade. That ability still exists in this year’s NFL draft if he chooses to go down that path.<\/p>\n
