Jaguars Target Georgia DT Christen Miller in Draft

The Jaguars’ best‑case draft pick is Georgia defensive tackle Christen Miller, who offers elite run defense and strong pass‑rush ability. He could fill the team’s need for interior depth and a more consistent pass rush.

Jacksonville’s 2025 season finished with the league’s top run defense, but the team still lacks a steady interior pass rush. Pro Football Focus analyst Ryan Smith says the ideal pick would be a defensive tackle who can dominate the run and pressure the quarterback.

Smith points to Georgia’s 6‑ft‑4, 310‑lb tackle Christen Miller, who posted a 90.2 PFF run‑defense grade in 2025 and an 11.3 pass‑rush win rate. With 1,031 defensive snaps over three seasons, Miller has 38 pressures and a sack, and is ranked fifth among defensive tackles on Mel Kiper’s board. Though he may fall to the Jaguars later in round one, he would add depth and a pass‑rush edge to the unit.
