Let's break down the Jacksonville Jaguars' four selections in the latest 2026 NFL mock draft from Gordon McGuinness of  Pro Football Focus.

Although the Jaguars do not have a first-round pick, they have four selections in the top 100, providing GM James Gladstone with the opportunity to add some immediate impact help to this roster or perhaps make a trade, which he's been very willing to do.

The Jaguars' first selection in this year's draft will come at pick No. 56 overall.

Pick 56: Caleb Tiernan, OT, Northwestern

Tiernan allowed just three sacks and 13 pressures over 430 pass-blocking snaps in 2025. However, will the Jaguars address the offensive line this early in the draft?

Bolstering the depth up front is always a good idea, but this isn't a pressing need either. Cole Van Lanen just signed an extension, Anton Harrison has a fifth-year option for the 2027 season and could be an extension candidate, while Walker Little and Chuma Edoga are still under contract for 2026.

Pick 81: Darrell Jackson Jr., IDL, Florida State

Listed at 6-5 - 337 pounds, Jackson was one of PFF's higher graded interior run defenders last season. As a pass rusher, he generated 14 pressures.

Addressing the defensive tackle position should be a top priority. While the Jaguars were the NFL's top run defense, this unit, specifically, struggled to generate consistent pressure on the quarterback down the stretch last season.

Pick 88: Zakee Wheatley, S, Penn State

Wheatley lined up all over the secondary. He was a sound tackler and stout run defender from the safety position. In coverage, he limited opponents to 5.1 yards per catch with one interception and one pass breakup.

Andrew Wingard is a free agent, but how big of a need is safety for the Jaguars? Antonio Johnson can slide into the starting spot next to Eric Murray, and while Anthony Campanile uses his share of three safety looks, the Jaguars used two draft picks last April on the safety position, selecting Caleb Ransaw and Rayuan Lane.

How early the Jaguars address safety in the draft could be tied to how confident they are in Ransaw and/or Lane to provide depth at the position.

Pick 100: Jack Endries, TE, Texas

Endries caught 33 passes for 346 yards with three touchdowns in 2025. He also graded out well as a run-blocker -- an important element to playing tight end in Liam Coen's offense.

Tight end could be viewed as an under-the-radar need. Quintin Morris, who was TE2 at the end of the season, is a free agent, while Hunter Long and Johnny Mundt are both entering the final year of their deals. All teams want immediate help, but the draft is about planning ahead as well.

Final thoughts

The board dictates who the Jaguars take, but this is a strong defensive end class at the top, so addressing that need in the top 100 feels like it should have been a priority for the Jaguars to help bolster the depth behind Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen.

In this mock, Jacksonville didn't address the cornerback position either, which as of now, is a good-sized need with Montaric Brown and Greg Newsome set to be free agents.

How free agency unfolds will, of course, impact how the Jaguars approach the NFL draft.
