2 'ideal' 2026 NFL draft picks for Jacksonville Jaguars

Eric Edholm of NFL. com recently selected the "ideal" top two picks for every NFL team. So, who did he pair with the Jacksonville Jaguars ?

Factoring into Edholm's decision-making was team needs, when they pick, and which prospects could be available at that time. Let's dive into his two selections. Pick 56: Derrick Moore, EDGE, Michigan What's the need?

At a minimum, more depth is needed at this position. The Jaguars need to add several more players to round out their training camp roster, but boosting the depth behind Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, in turn, hopefully elevates competition and raises the floor of this unit, thus generating more steady pass rush production from the rotational defenders. What to know about Moore: Listed at 6-3, 260 pounds, Moore has played 1,355 career snaps on defense, filling a rotational role.

The bulk of his snaps have come on passing downs. Moore has had steadily increasing production the last three seasons, going from 26 pressures in 2023 to 37 to then 41 this past year. This also includes logging 11 sacks this past season, along with ranking 32nd among all defensive ends in pass rush win rate.
