With Super Bowl 60 now behind us, it’s the offseason for every NFL team, and with that, we have some very early 2026 power rankings. So, where are the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> currently ranked?<\/p>\n Year 1 under Tony Boselli, James Gladstone, and Liam Coen was a massive success. Following a four-win season in 2024, the Jaguars<\/a> posted 13 wins in 2025 and won the AFC South.<\/p>\n During the Jaguars’ eight-game winning streak to end the regular season, both the offense and defense were producing at very high levels.<\/p>\n A strong foundation has been established, creating a jumping-off point heading into Year 2 of this regime. The Jaguars are already much further ahead now than they were a year ago, when the roster was being reshaped, and two new schemes were being implemented.<\/p>\n Here is where the very early power rankings have the Jaguars ranked.<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a>ESPN<\/p>\n Ranking:No. 9<\/a><\/p>\n They said it: “The Jaguars did a good job of getting close to the quarterback in 2025 (222 pressures, ranked third), but not so much in getting the quarterback on the ground (32 sacks, ranked 27th). Fixing that will likely come either via trade or free agency because they don’t have a first-round pick after\u00a0trading up<\/a>\u00a0for wide receiver\/cornerback\u00a0Travis Hunter<\/a>\u00a0in 2025. Their interior pass rush especially needs a boost (7.5 sacks, including 5.5 by defensive tackle\u00a0Arik Armstead<\/a>).”<\/p>\n FOX Sports<\/p>\n Ranking: No. 7<\/a><\/p>\n They said it: “They\u2019ve been a sleeping and underachieving giant for years, and Liam Coen\u2019s rookie year is only the beginning. Even if they don\u2019t get 13 wins again, they\u2019re not going to fade away anytime soon.”<\/p>\n PFSN<\/p>\n
