With the 2026 NFL draft near, we will be taking a position-by-position look at where things stand with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The draft will take place from Apr. 23-25. Although the Jaguars are without a first-round pick, GM James Gladstone does have 11 picks in total to work with -- tied for the second-most in the NFL.
He also has four selections in the top 100, giving him the ability to still address key needs and the flexibility to let the board dictate what he does or move around as he sees fit.
Up next in our preview are the offensive tackles. If you missed our other previews, you can find them below.
No departures or additions took place for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The need at offensive tackle in the short term doesn't much exist. However, the draft is about planning ahead, and as we look to 2027, the Jaguars can get out of Little's deal next offseason. Edoga will be a free agent. The Jaguars have the starting left and right tackle positions figured out with Van Lanen and Harrison, but building out long-term depth could be on James Gladstone's radar.
With help from the consensus big board, here are the top offensive tackle prospects in this year's draft outside of the top 50, with the Jaguars' first pick coming at 56th overall.
