Jaguars Target Defense in 2026 Mock Draft

Despite lacking a first‑round selection, the Jaguars have 11 picks, including four in the top 100, giving GM James Gladstone flexibility to address roster gaps.

The mock draft shows a defensive focus: Lee Hunter, a Texas Tech interior lineman, is chosen at 57 to bolster the tackle corps; Kaleb Elarms‑Orr, a TCU linebacker, is taken at 81 to fill the starting spot; and R Mason Thomas, an Oklahoma edge rusher, is selected at 88 to add depth behind Josh Hines‑Allen and Travon Walker.
