A computer-simulated mock draft projects the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2026 NFL draft picks.The simulation selected wide receiver Chris Brazzell II and defensive tackle Christen Miller with its first two picks.<\/p>\n
With the 2026 NFL offseason now here for all 32 teams after the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> won Super Bowl 60, let’s dive into a full seven-round mock draft for the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>.<\/p>\n Using Pro Football Network’s<\/a> mock draft machine, this mock draft was completely computer-simulated to best take as much of the human element and any biases out of the equation.<\/p>\n So, who did the Jaguars come away with? Let’s break down the selections.<\/p>\n Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> 7-round computer-simulated 2026 NFL mock draftPick 56: WR Chris Brazzell II, TennesseePick 57: DT Christen Miller, GeorgiaPick 100: RB Kaytron Allen, Penn StateExpert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n With Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter, wide receiver is not a position the Jaguars have to add to early on.<\/p>\n Then, as we’ve seen James Gladstone do, he traded up to address a big need, adding defensive tackle Christen Miller. The Jaguars need more pass-rush productivity from this position group.<\/p>\n Like receiver, I don’t think that running back is a top 100 need. Even if Travis Etienne ends up elsewhere, the Jaguars still have Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen.<\/p>\n Pick 117: TE Dallen Bentley, UtahPick 162: RB Roman Hemby, IndianaPick 164: OT Carver Willis, Washington<\/p>\n Tight end is an under-the-radar need. Currently, there are only four players on the roster — so more depth is needed — while Hunter Long and Johnny Mundt are in the final year of their deals.<\/p>\n A second running back pick is unnecessary. And at this stage of the draft, defensive end, cornerback, or linebacker — especially if Devin Lloyd is gone — need to be much greater priorities than offensive tackle.<\/p>\n Pick 195: DT Landon Robinson, NavyPick 233: TE Dae’Quan Wright, Ole MissPick: 245: CB Theran Johnson, Oregon<\/p>\n I like the idea of double-dipping at defensive tackle. However, I can’t say I feel that way about the tight end position. Then, with Montaric Brown and Greg Newsome both hitting free agency, cornerback likely needs to be addressed sooner than pick 245.<\/p>\n Again, not taking a defensive end to bolster the depth behind Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker would be a big miss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 9, 2026, 12:38 p.m. ET A computer-simulated mock draft projects the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2026 NFL draft picks.The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":695800,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[95878,7,6,31186,95933,95882,95930,97129,96041,97710,96044,102870,95936,96311,96040,96081,96098,98255,95896,95888,95895,95897,96948,95977,96099,95902,95883,96012,96046,98258,97961,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-740888","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sstssportsnfljaguars","12":"tag-sstsnjaguars","13":"tag-tagamerican-football","14":"tag-tagbig-ten-conference-football","15":"tag-tagbrian-thomas-jr","16":"tag-tagdevin-lloyd","17":"tag-tagfantasy-sports","18":"tag-taggreg-newsome-ii","19":"tag-taghunter-long","20":"tag-tagjacksonville-jaguars","21":"tag-tagjakobi-meyers","22":"tag-tagjohnny-mundt","23":"tag-tagjosh-hines-allen","24":"tag-tagmississippi-rebels","25":"tag-tagmontaric-brown","26":"tag-tagnational-sports","27":"tag-tagnfl","28":"tag-tagnfl-hub","29":"tag-tagoverall-negative","30":"tag-tagpenn-state-nittany-lions","31":"tag-tagseattle-seahawks","32":"tag-tagsec-conference-football","33":"tag-tagsport-scores-statistics","34":"tag-tagsports-news","35":"tag-tagstory-highlights-ai-enabled","36":"tag-tagtravis-etienne-jr","37":"tag-tagtravis-hunter","38":"tag-tagtravon-walker","39":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=740888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740888\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/695800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=740888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=740888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=740888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
