Jaguars find Cam Robinson's replacement in 3-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft

The Jacksonville Jaguars showed that left tackle Cam Robinson wasn't part of their long-term plans when they traded him to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a Day 3 selection in 2026. You could argue that the Jags didn't get fair compensation but the truth is that the former Alabama product is slated to become a free agent next year, and wasn't probably going to return. So rather than letting him walk and getting nothing in return, they traded him for a future pick.

Granted, Jacksonville will have to wait until 2026 to reap the pick, but even when you leave it aside, the team still has ample ammo in next year's draft.

After all, the Jaguars got two extra selections in 2025, along with a fourth this year, when they agreed with Minnesota to move down from pick No. 17 to pick No. 23. On top of that, they acquired a sixth-rounder when they traded edge rusher Trevis Gipson to the Seattle Seahawks. That's three extra selections for the 2025 draft.

It's also worth noting that based on their current 2-6 record, Jacksonville holds the fifth-highest spot in every round. With that in mind, here's a three-round mock that takes the third-rounder the Jags got from the Vikings into account.

Round 1, pick No. 5: The Jaguars draft Will Campbell, LT, LSU

To replace Cam Robinson, the Jags could re-sign Walker Little, who's also slated to become a free agent, or switch Anton Harrison to the left side, where he spent most of his collegiate career at Oklahoma, but why move him and stall his progress on the right side when he's doing well? Jacksonville might as well keep him there and draft Will Campbell, one of the most highly-regarded prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Campbell appears to be a lock to go in the top 10, and rightly so. Having already logged 31 starts at LSU, the Lousiana native has already polished his technique. On top of that, at 6'3" and 323 pounds, he's got the athletic traits to succeed in the pros, which makes him an ideal replacement for Robinson.

Round 2, pick 37: The Jaguars draft Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky

The Jaguars are struggling to hold their ground in the defensive trenches even though they drafted Maason Smith and Jordan Jefferson. Both of them may need time to hit their stride but have been unremarkable so far. That's why the front office shouldn't hesitate to add reinforcements to the interior defensive line.

Granted, Walker needs to lose weight and bulk up to succeed in the NFL. Similarly, he must work on his hand usage. That said, he's got the upside to develop into a game-wrecker, something the Jaguars are in dire need of.

Round 3, pick 69: The Jaguars draft Luke Kandra, RT, Cincinnati

Right guard Brandon Scherff is slated to become a free agent in 2025. At 33, he probably won't return, so the Jaguars will need to fill the void left by his potential departure. Fortunately for them, they could find his heir apparent in Round 3 of next year's draft, where Luke Kandra will most likely be available.

Kandra is one of the best guard prospects in the draft process and could immediately play in Jacksonville. While he needs to play with better leverage and do a better job of holding onto his blocks, he's got the tools to become a solid starter.

Round 3, pick 90: The Jaguars draft Luke Stewart, WR, Oregon

Christian Kirk has been a mainstay of the Jaguars' offensive and one of Trevor Lawrence's most trusted targets since he signed in 2022. However, he's had season-ending injuries in back-to-back years. Add the fact that he could be a cap casualty in 2025, and the team should consider restocking its wide receiver corps.

Sure, Parker Washington has come through this season and figures to be an important piece on offense moving forward, but it wouldn't hurt to add another option to their passing game in next year's draft. Oregon's Luke Stewart should be available on Day 3.

At 6'0" and 175 pounds, Stewart will probably need to add weight in the NFL, but his route-running and speed make him an appealing developmental prospect behind Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr. Add the fact that he has mostly line up outside but can also play inside, and he would be an intriguing addition to the Jaguars' wide receiver corps.
