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 wide receivers. If you missed our other previews, you can find them below.
Although the Jaguars are positioned well at the top of the wide receiver depth chart with Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington, and Travis Hunter, depth and competition on the back end are still very much a need. As of now, the other wideouts on the roster are Austin Trammell, Tim Jones, and Chandler Brayboy. Jacksonville's pursuit of Jake Bobo tells us that Gladstone isn't done adding here -- although spending a premium pick at wideout isn't required.
With help from the consensus big board, here are the top wide receivers outside of the top 50 overall prospects, since that is where the Jaguars will first be picking. As has become the norm at wideout in the draft, there is a lot of talent and depth.
