Computer-simulated mock draft fails to address top need for Jaguars

With the 2026 NFL draft almost here, let's run through a full seven-round mock for the Jacksonville Jaguars , but with a twist -- the computer will make all of the selections. Using Pro Football Network's mock draft machine, this mock draft was completely computer-simulated to take as much of the human element and as many biases as possible out of the equation. So, who did the Jaguars come away with?

Let's break down the selections with our overall takeaways from how things unfolded. Jaguars picks in computer-simulated 2026 NFL mock draft Pick 56: Genesis Smith, S, Arizona Pick 81: Kaytron Allen, RB, Penn State Pick 88: Kaleb Elarms-Orr, LB, TCU Pick 100: Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana Pick 124: Jalen Farmer, OG, Kentucky Pick 164: Kendal Daniels, LB, Oklahoma Pick 166: Dae'Quan Wright, TE, Ole Miss Pick 203: Carver Willis, OT, Washington Pick 233: John Michael Gyllenborg, TE, Wyoming Pick 245: Preston Hodge, CB, Colorado Safety and running back right away? These are two positions that the Jaguars could add to at some point, but right away?

It sure feels like those picks could have been better utilized elsewhere. Still at safety for the Jaguars are Eric Murray, Antonio Johnson, Caleb Ransaw, Rayuan Lane, and others. While at running back, the Jaguars have Chris Rodriguez, Bhayshul Tuten, and LeQuint Allen.

Neither position is a pressing need. Jaguars' needs at WR, TE, and OL The Jaguars' adding to each of those units is in play. The team's pursuit of Jake Bobo earlier this offseason tells us that wide receiver is still on James Gladstone's radar.
