2026 NFL draft schedule, Jaguars picks, key needs, position previews
Here is everything you need to know about the Jacksonville Jaguars and the 2026 NFL draft, from the schedule, to picks, and positional needs.
The 2026 NFL draft is here, although the Jacksonville Jaguars do not own a first-round selection heading into the event. Nevertheless, we have everything you need to know about the draft for the Jaguars right here. Despite being without a first-round pick, the Jaguars do have quite a bit of draft capital, owning 11 picks, the second-most in the NFL.
This includes four picks on Day 2. Having that many picks provides GM James Gladstone with flexibility, which is what every team wants. He shouldn't feel like he must address a certain position at a specific point in the draft.
The board can dictate what the Jaguars do. In addition to that, having 11 picks gives Gladstone the ability to trade up and down as he sees fit -- something that we saw he was very willing to do last year. 2026 NFL draft schedule Round 1: Thursday, 8 PM ET Rounds 2 and 3: Friday, 7 PM ET Rounds 4-7: Saturday, 12 PM ET When are the Jacksonville Jaguars picking in the 2026 NFL draft?
