Jaguars Grade 4 Picks in 3‑Round 2026 Mock Draft

ESPN’s 2026 mock draft saw the Jacksonville Jaguars pick 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 add competition at linebacker, defensive tackle, wide receiver and safety, addressing depth but not all pressing needs.

Overall, the draft haul is solid, earning a B+ grade. While the defensive tackle addition is timely, the receiver and safety picks miss higher priority positions, yet the Jaguars’ flexibility with 11 total picks remains evident.
