Jaguars Grade 4 Picks in 3‑Round 2026 Mock Draft

ESPN’s 2026 mock draft saw the Jacksonville Jaguars add Josiah Trotter, Gracen Halton, Brenen Thompson and Genesis Smith, boosting depth at key positions.

In the three‑round mock, the Jaguars selected Josiah Trotter (LB, Missouri) at 56, Gracen Halton (DT, Oklahoma) at 81, Brenen Thompson (WR, Missouri) at 88 and Genesis Smith (S, Arizona) at 100. These picks strengthen linebacker competition, add defensive‑tackle depth, and replenish safety and receiver options as the team prepares for the upcoming season.

Overall, the draft haul earns a B+ grade. While the picks improve depth, the team still lacks a top‑tier defensive end, a position that could have been prioritized given the talent available in the draft class.
