How Jaguars will prepare while waiting until pick 56 in draft to select
The Jaguars are without a first-round pick, but GM James Gladstone is well-versed in waiting to make a selection in the draft.
It's going to be a long wait for the Jacksonville Jaguars before they are on the clock, making their first selection in the 2026 NFL draft. After trading up to pick No. 2 a year ago, the Jaguars now won't be making their first pick until Day 2, at No.
56 overall. Every team but the Broncos will have made a selection by that point in the draft. While that may seem like a while to wait, considering that the Jaguars won't be participating in Night 1 of the draft, this is far from uncharted territory for James Gladstone and Liam Coen.
In 2018, when both were with the Rams, LA's first selection wasn't until pick No. 89. In 2019, it was pick No.
61, and in 2020, it was pick No. 52. Then, when Coen returned for the 2022 season, the Rams weren't on the clock for the first time until pick No.
