The Jacksonville Jaguars hit it out of the ballpark in the 2025 NFL Draft, the first one James Gladstone oversaw as the general manager. They came up with a handful of potential starters (two-way star Travis Hunter, running back Bhayshul Tuten, defensive back Caleb Ransaw, and offensive lineman Wyatt Milum), and found intriguing depth pieces (center Jonah Monheim, linebacker Jack Kiser, running back LeQuint Allen). However, the front office still has plenty of work left.
Due to the year turnover NFL teams experience due to the salary cap, the Jags will need to keep reloading the roster in 2026. Working in their favor is that they have the draft capital to bolster several position groups despite the fact that they gave up their first-round selection as part of the Travis Hunter trade.
This begs the question, what positions will Jacksonville target next offseason? Mark Stolte of the Pro Football Network came up with an intriguing answer in his latest three-round 2026 mock draft.
Stolte has the Jaguars taking running back Nicholas Singleton (pick No. 51) in Round 2, and tight end Kenyon Sadiq (pick No. 83), linebacker Whit Weeks (pick No. 86), and cornerback Will Lee (pick No. 98) in Round 3. In case you were wondering where Jacksonville found two extra third-rounders, it acquired them from the Detroit Lions after agreeing to move down in this year's draft.

Nicholas Singleton and Kenyon Sadiq would be great additions to the Jaguars
Big boards will look different after the 2025 season, but all the players Mark Stolte projects the Jacksonville Jaguars to draft look great. You could make the case that Nicholas Singleton may be an unnecessary luxury in a stacked running back room, but the pick makes sense when you take into account that Travis Etienne is entering a contract season and will tentatively leave.
Singleton would be a solid replacement for Etienne and serve as potential insurance in case Tank Bigsby or Bhayshul Tuten underperform or miss time with injury. Following the Orange Bowl, he sent shockwaves across the country when he announced that he would be returning to Penn State for his fourth season, meaning that he'll have a chance to raise his stock even further.
On the other hand, Kenyon Sadiq would be an intriguing addition to the tight end room. The Jags moved on from Evan Engram in 2025 because they had Brenton Strange in the fold. The 2023 second-round selection is expected to make a leap next season, but that shouldn't deter Jacksonville from adding depth at the position next year.
Hunter Long, Johnny Mundt, and Quintin Morris are behind Strange on the depth chart. All of them are solid backups with pass-blocking chops but not much else. Sadiq would certainly be an upgrade.
Whit Weeks and Will Lee would also be intriguing choices, as they could potentially replace Devin Lloyd and Montaric Brown, respectively. Like Etienne, both of them are entering contract seasons and may not return in 2026.
The best thing about James Gladstone's effort to raise the team's floor and ceiling in his first season at the helm is that he's put the Jaguars in a position where they don't have to draft for a need. Stolte's mock is proof of it.
