In a post-free agency four-round NFL mock draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars went heavy on defense.

After a quiet free agency period , the draft will be the Jaguars ' primary means this offseason for elevating the overall roster.
Although the Jaguars are without a first-round pick, GM James Gladstone still has plenty of draft capital to work with, which includes five picks in the first four rounds and four picks in the top 100.

Addressing the defensive tackle position is arguably the Jaguars' biggest need at the moment.

In 2025, he recorded three interceptions and four pass breakups, while surrendering 11.
5 yards per catch. His missed tackle rate, according to PFF, was on the high side. Although the Jaguars lost Andrew Wingard in free agency, safety doesn't seem to be a huge need with Eric Murray and Antonio Johnson starting, along with Caleb Ransaw and Rayuan Lane on the roster to provide depth.
