Projecting Jaguars' starting offense before 2026 NFL draft
Before the Jaguars make their first selection in the 2026 NFL draft, let's take a look at what their projected starting offense currently looks like.
With the 2026 NFL draft here, let's take a look at what the Jacksonville Jaguars' starting offense would look like if the team had to take the field today. Now, of course, with 11 draft picks, undrafted free agency, and the potential for a veteran addition or two after the draft, the roster as it is constructed today will not be what we see when the Jaguars take the practice field in July for training camp. However, what this exercise does prior to the draft is highlight where some of the Jaguars' more pressing roster needs may lie.
Jaguars' projected starting offense before the 2026 NFL draft Quarterback: Trevor Lawrence No surprises here. Running back: Chris Rodriguez and Bhayshul Tuten My early guess is that these two share the workload out of the backfield with LeQuint Allen again coming off the bench during obvious passing situations. Wide receiver: Brian Thomas Jr.
, Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers We will see Travis Hunter as well, but on the depth chart, I would guess that these three headline this unit. Tight end: Brenton Strange We saw our fair share of two tight end sets under Liam Coen. As the season progressed in 2025, Quintin Morris secured that TE2, blocking-heavy role.
Offensive line: Cole Van Lanen, Ezra Cleveland, Robert Hainsey, Patrick Mekari, Anton Harrison I wouldn't be surprised if the Jaguars really embrace competition up front once again as they search for their best five and a stronger run game, but as of now, we'll go chalk with the same starters that were in place at the end of last season.
