NFL Mock Draft 2026: Predicting the Full First Round
The Jacksonville Jaguars don’t have a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft… but 26 others do! To predict Round 1, I called on Keanu Kargar, a Jags fan who had the second-most accurate mock among thousands of entries in 2021. Here’s how Keanu sees tonight unfolding. 1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana […]
NFL Draft 2026: What time are the Jaguars picking in the second round?
Barring a last-second surprise, the Jacksonville Jaguars will not participate in Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Its original 24th overall pick was traded to the Cleveland Browns in a package for WR/CB Travis Hunter during Round 1 of last year’s draft. If the Jaguars happen to move into the first round after this […]
2026 NFL Draft: Big Cat Country’s Final Big Board Compared to Consensus
The draft process is an exercise in identifying value where others might miss it. It’s about trying to bridge the gap between internal evaluations and public perception to sift out which players teams covet, predicting how draft weekend will unfold, and then naturally looking back years later to see how wrong you were. This particular […]
Which future roster needs should the Jaguars address in the 2026 NFL Draft?
As much as everyone likes to harp on drafting the best available players, every team prioritizes positions of need on its board. The Jacksonville Jaguars are a good bet to add pass rush depth behind Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, linebacker competition to compensate for Devin Lloyd’s departure, and big-bodied skill players to diversify Liam […]
Jaguars history: A look at Jacksonville’s 2026 draft pick numbers
The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off tomorrow! For the first time in franchise history, the Jaguars will not have a first-round pick. The Jags have 11 picks (for now) this year. Let’s take a look at the players most recently drafted by the team in those draft slots. Round 2, Pick 56: DT Larry Smith […]
Would Travis Hunter be the 1st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft?
Here’s a hypothetical. What if the Jacksonville Jaguars never drafted Travis Hunter at second overall in the 2025 NFL Draft — because they never got the opportunity to? Let’s say, hypothetically, that the two-way phenom decided to take a gap year after winning the 2024 Heisman Trophy and before entering the league. Let’s also assume […]
Big Cat Country’s Final Big Board: Top 200 prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class
The final week of the pre-draft process is always a grind, but after months of grinding the tape, the board is officially set. With the 2026 NFL Draft kicking off this Friday, I’ve finally locked in my rankings. This year, the evaluation process was more extensive than ever—I’ve personally watched at least one full game […]
The biggest mistake the Titans could make at 4th overall
For a long time, draft season was the season in Duval County. The question of “Which college prospects are going to turn around my Jacksonville Jaguars?” came to mind well before the end of each regular season. No more! The 2026 draft cycle has been boring as heck — but in a good way. Liam […]
Jaguars pick up fifth-year option on OT Anton Harrison
At the NFL’s annual league meeting in Phoenix in late March, Jacksonville Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said the franchise will exercise the fifth-year contract option on offensive tackle Anton Harrison, according to Ryan O’Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. A few days before the 2026 NFL Draft, and well before the league’s May 1 deadline […]
Liam Coen’s Message to the Jaguars on Day One of 2026 Offseason Program: ‘Attacking’
Players are back in the building at the Miller Electric Center today as the Jacksonville Jaguars begin the first phase of their 2026 offseason workout program. “Feels like the ‘26 season kinda gettin’ started- gettin’ a kickoff in a lot of ways,” head coach Liam Coen said to begin Monday’s media availability. “Great to get […]
The Jaguars May Be the NFL’s UDFA Kings Again in 2026
With Thursday night kicking off the 2026 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars are currently expected to add somewhere between 15 and 18 undrafted free agents (UDFAs) following this weekend’s action in Pittsburgh, per OverTheCap. Of course, this figure depends on post-draft veteran signings, potential draft day trades, and unforeseen offseason cuts shaping the 2026 roster. […]
What Does Ruke Orhorhoro Trade Mean For Jaguars?
Friday afternoon, the Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to trade defensive tackle Maason Smith to the Atlanta Falcons for defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro. ESPN first reported on the news of the player-for-player trade that saw the two teams swap DTs who had fallen out of favor with their respective new front offices. While trade details have yet […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ first trade of the 2026 offseason is officially in the books! The Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons have exchanged third-year defensive tackles.

The NFL Draft is less than a week away, and the rumor mill is in full swing. With James Gladstone and his front office team readying the war room, here are three bold moves the Jacksonville Jaguars could make next weekend: Splash trade for an impact player on defense When it comes to the NFL […]
Jaguars 2026 NFL Draft Targets: Linebackers
With the defensive tackle group already in the books, the next stop in this series shifts to another position that could very much be in play when the Jaguars are on the clock at 56 overall: linebacker. The need here is pretty straightforward. With the departure of Devin Lloyd in free agency, Jacksonville loses a […]
Jaguars Legend Paul Posluszny to Announce Day Two Pick
We are officially less than one week away from the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh! While franchise history is being made on Thursday with the team not having a first-round pick for the first time, sights are set on Friday night, and who better to announce a Day Two pick for the team than Jags […]
Jacksonville Draft Targets: Cornerbacks Who Make Sense
The Jacksonville Jaguars may not say cornerback is a pressing need heading into April, but actions — and injuries — tend to speak louder than pre-draft messaging. With Travis Hunter working his way back from late-season LCL surgery and Jourdan Lewis returning from foot surgery, the Jaguars could suddenly find themselves in a familiar but uncomfortable spot: […]

Reacts Survey Results: Travon Walker contract was well-received
This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans if they would have offered defensive end Travon Walker more or less than the $27.5 annual salary he signed for. It was a close call, but over half of the respondents said they would’ve offered him less. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Walker has the 36th-lowest odds to win […]

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten could have diversified role in Liam Coen’s 2026 offense
Bhayshul Tuten had a promising, albeit unspectacular, rookie campaign. As the backup rusher to Travis Etienne, the 2025 fourth-round pick totaled 83 carries for 307 yards and 7 total touchdowns across 15 regular season games. His average yards per carry (3.7) ranked 45th among 55 qualifying running backs. Last month, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed Chris […]
