Why
The Jacksonville Jaguars' current priorities begin at offensive tackle (OT) and cornerback (CB). Defensive tackle (DT) and pass rusher (EDGE) are the next groups that should be reinforced heading into the 2027 NFL Draft.

How he drafts
Track record read
Historically, the Jaguars prioritize trench talent and linebackers, unafraid of early-round "reaches" as seen with Travon Walker at #1. The offense isn't neglected, with key picks like Trevor Lawrence and the surprising bet on consecutive LSU WRs with Brian Thomas Jr. in 2024 and 2025. The trend of doubling down on positions in R1+R2 and trusting "BPA" (best player available) appears to prevail, demonstrating a draft strategy focused on immediate impact and often gravitating toward SEC talent.
The board · Rounds 1–7
Only the rounds where the team owns a pick (per Tankathon). A blend of need plus best value on the board.
First round
3 names
Missouri
OTBrings the heavy anchor Jacksonville desperately needs at tackle. If his kick slide holds up against bend, the floor is massive.
Georgia
CBGives them the press-man CB1 with elite ball skills they badly need. Soft against the run, but in pure coverage he's lethal.
Utah
SBrings true single-high range and ball skills to their deep third. Special teams floor is locked in; tackling determines his ceiling.
Second round
3 names
Texas
OTSmooth kick slide and elite length to protect Trevor Lawrence. Pure pass-pro bet; functional anchor will dictate his ceiling.
South Carolina
CBInjects ball skills and fluid mirror ability into a needy secondary. Day-one return value, though he'll struggle against physical boundary receivers.
Ohio State
IOLPlugs Jacksonville's interior hole with heavy hands and gap-scheme power. High-floor Day 1 starter whose ceiling is capped by lateral range.
Third round
3 names
South Carolina
OTInstant plug at offensive tackle with true two-way swing value. Legitimate anchor; cleaning up his pad level decides if he's a permanent starter.
USC
CBElite zone eyes and run support for a secondary needing turnovers. Instant high-floor CB3, though press coverage exposes him.
Georgia
IOLInstant pre-snap brain and stability for Jacksonville's interior. Pad level will be a battle at 6-5, but the mental floor is sky-high.
