JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The opening weeks of free agency are over, and it is full steam ahead to the 2026 NFL Draft.

While the Jaguars still have time to make moves before and after the draft to prepare for training camp, next month's draft will be a critical time for the Jaguars and their 11 picks. With that in mind, here is our full seven-round mock after the first rounds of the offseason.

TRADE UP: Jaguars trade No. 56, No. 164 (fifth-round) with Green Bay Packers to No. 52

2nd Round, No. 52: LB Anthony Hill, Texas

A rangy athlete who can be a playmaker at each phase of linebacker, Anthony Hill would give the Jaguars a high-upside option to develop alongside Foyesade Oluokun. He could get into an honest compeitrition with Ventrell Miller to determine the best starter to kick off the season, and still give the Jaguars depth and flexibility.

3rd Round, No. 81: Tennessee DE Joshua Josephs

The Jaguars have interesting second-year defensive ends in Danny Striggow and B.J. Green, but they need more added to the position with Dawuane Smoot and Emmanuel Ogbah as free agents. Joshua Josephs wins with length and aggressiveness, and he looks just like a defensive end the Jaguars would have high marks on.

3rd Round, No. 88 : Iowa IOL Logan Jones

One of the top centers in college football, Logan Jones is a top-notch athlete who would be a wise investment into the future of the Jaguars' offensive line. Jones could be Robert Hainsey's long-term replacement while Jonah Monheim provides depth at both guard spots. Wyatt Milum could play guard or tackle, too, making this quite the trio to build around.

3rd Round, No. 100: Penn State IDL Zane Durant

A twitched-up three-technique is exactly what the Jaguars need to find for their interior defensive line. Zane Durant has some Grady Jarrett to his game, and could end up making a big impact much sooner than later.

4th Round, No. 124: Texas TE Jack Endries

The Jaguars clearly want to get more dynamic at tight end this offseason, and Jack Endries would certianly help them do that. He has been a productive pass-catcher for years, and that carried over to Texas after his time at Cal. He would fit in easily in 13 and 12 personnel sets for a Jaguars team that still needs more behind Brenton Strange.

5th Round, No. 166: Texas Tech DL Skyler Gill-Howard

A disruptive and athletic force along the defensive line, Skyler Gill-Howard would give the Jaguars another young disruptor up front. He can play inside and outside, but his best value would come as a sub-package pass-rusher on third-downs.

6th Round, No. 203: Indiana DE Mikail Kamara

Another defensive lineman? Yup. The Jaguars have a major need there now. After this scenario, they land high-ceiling options for the future at both defensive end and defensive tackle, a youth movement reminiscent to what the Los Angeles Rams have done in recent years. Mikail Kamara is as intangibly rich as it gets.

7th Round No. 233: Georgia Tech WR Eric Rivers

A smaller receiver who has the ability to play outside, Eric Rivers has some Parker Washington traits to him -- including the ability to return punts, which he could do as a rookie while Washingston sees his offensive role expand.

7th Round, No. 240 : USC DB Bishop Fitzgerald

The Jaguars can afford to wait until this late for a safety, and Bishop Fitzgerald and his ball production would certainly fit into the Jaguars' secondary. He could cut his teeth on special teams early and then try to fight for a bigger role in 2027 when there could be more changes at safety.

7th Round, No. 245: Toledo CB Andre Fuller

Kirby Lee-Imagn Images

The Jaguars have their top five cornerbacks already on the roster in Travis Hunter, Montaric Brown, Jourdan Lewis, Jarrian Jones, and Christian Braswell, so they can afford to wait on a corner. Here, they finally add some size to the room with a 6-foot-1 athlete in Andre Fuller.
