Jaguars Target DT Miller in Draft

Pro Football Focus names Georgia defensive tackle Christen Miller as the ideal draft target for the Jacksonville Jaguars to bolster their defensive line.

The Jacksonville Jaguars could land Georgia defensive tackle Christen Miller as a "best-case scenario" in the 2026 NFL draft, according to Pro Football Focus. At 6-foot-4, 310 pounds, Miller brings elite run-defense capabilities with a 90.2 PFF run-defense grade in 2025 and has shown promising pass-rush skills with an 11.3 pass-rush win rate.

Ranked as the fifth-best defensive tackle by Mel Kiper, Miller may not be available when the Jaguars pick, as many mock drafts project him going in the latter part of the first round. The Jaguars, who boasted the NFL's top run defense last season, need to enhance their pass-rush presence from the defensive line position.
