The final week of the pre-draft process is always a grind, but after months of grinding the tape, the board is officially set.

With the 2026 NFL Draft kicking off this Friday, I’ve finally locked in my rankings. This year, the evaluation process was more extensive than ever—I’ve personally watched at least one full game of over 300 draft-eligible prospects to identify the players who I feel are the top prospects in the class.

This isn’t a mock draft, and it certainly isn’t a projection of where I think teams will pick. This is my personal evaluation of the talent pool and a reflection of the players who stood out to me. Whether we are looking for immediate contributors or developmental projects for the Jaguars’ roster, these are the names that have separated themselves from the pack.

With the clock ticking toward Friday, here is how my final Top 200 Big Board looks from top to bottom.

(I’ve also included condensed write ups of players that have consistently been linked as Jags’ targets.)

* first round grade

1 – Jeremiyah Love, HB, Notre Dame *

2 – Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State *

3 – Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State *

4 – Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana *

5 – David Bailey, ED, Texas Tech *

6 – Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State *

7 – Olaivavega Ioane, G, Penn State *

8 – Francis Mauigoa, T, Miami (FL) *

9 – Rueben Bain Jr., ED, Miami (FL) *

10 – Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee *

11 – Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State *

12 – Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU *

13 – Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State *

16 – Dillon Thieneman, S, Oregon *

17 – Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana *

18 – Akheem Mesidor, ED, Miami (FL) *

19 – Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo *

20 – Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon *

21 – Kadyn Proctor, T, Alabama *

22 – Blake Miller, T, Clemson *

23 – Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech *

Jacob Rodriguez offers the highest floor of any linebacker in the 2026 draft class, bringing a polished, instinct-driven game that consistently shows up on tape. He’s a natural cleanup defender who erases plays once runners reach the second level, and he silenced any lingering concerns about his speed with an impressive combine performance. A true playmaker, he forced seven fumbles and snagged four interceptions in 2025 alone.

24 – Zion Young, ED, Missouri *

25 – Peter Woods, DI, Clemson

26 – KC Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M

27 – Christen Miller, DI, Georgia

Christen Miller is a high-floor interior lineman who wins against both the run and pass with technical consistency rather than relying on one specific physical trait. His rare versatility allows him to align anywhere from nose to 3-technique and effectively disrupt the backfield from multiple alignments.

28 – A.J. Haulcy, S, LSU

29 – Kayden McDonald, DI, Ohio State

30 – Monroe Freeling, T, Georgia

31 – Colton Hood, CB, Tennessee

32 – Max Iheanachor, T, Arizona State

33 – Denzel Boston, WR, Washington

34 – Emmanuel Pregnon, G, Oregon

35 – Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson

36 – Caleb Lomu, T, Utah

37 – Keith Abney II, CB, Arizona State

38 – Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego State

39 – Caleb Banks, DI, Florida

When healthy, Caleb Banks boasts an elite combination of size and quickness that makes him a nightmare to block when he’s at his best. He remains a raw prospect, however, as he frequently plays with high pad level and out-of-control technique, requiring significant refinement to fully harness his physical tools.

40 – Gabe Jacas, ED, Illinois

41 – D’Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana

42 – Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama

43 – Jadarian Price, HB, Notre Dame

44 – Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas

45 – Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama

46 – Lee Hunter, DI, Texas Tech

Lee Hunter is a high floor run defender who anchors firmly at the point of attack to disrupt the interior rushing game. As a pass rusher, he flashes legitimate penetration ability, utilizing heavy hands and raw power to consistently collapse the pocket. There are questions about his athleticism, but I think those are overblown.

47 – Malachi Lawrence, ED, UCF

48 – Cashius Howell, ED, Texas A&M

49 – Jake Golday, LB, Cincinnati

Jake Golday is a physically gifted, high-upside linebacker whose rare size and movement skills allow him to excel as a run-and-hit defender in space. While he is still refining his instincts and block-shedding technique following his transition from edge, his elite athletic profile makes him a compelling developmental piece.

50 – Keldric Faulk, ED, Auburn

51 – T.J. Parker, ED, Clemson

52 – CJ Allen, LB, Georgia

53 – Chase Bisontis, G, Texas A&M

54 – Keionte Scott, CB, Miami (FL)

55 – Treydan Stukes, CB, Arizona

56 – R Mason Thomas, ED, Oklahoma

57 – Skyler Bell, WR, Connecticut

58 – Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt

60 – Chris Brazzell II, WR, Tennessee

61 – Derrick Moore, ED, Michigan

62 – Joshua Josephs, ED, Tennessee

63 – Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana

64 – Jonah Coleman, HB, Washington

65 – Brandon Cisse, CB, South Carolina

66 – Deion Burks, WR, Oklahoma

67 – Josiah Trotter, LB, Missouri

Josiah Trotter is an aggressive, downhill linebacker who thrives as a run defender by diagnosing plays quickly and meeting ball carriers with authority. While he is still refining his coverage consistency and pacing, his high-motor, hard-hitting style makes him an immediate tone-setter in the box.

68 – Caleb Tiernan, T, Northwestern

69 – Gracen Halton, DI, Oklahoma

Gracen Halton is a high-motor interior disruptor who thrives on elite quickness and active hands to penetrate the backfield. Despite a smaller frame, he displays a surprising anchor and relentless pursuit, allowing him to consistently make plays at or behind the line of scrimmage.

70 – Kyle Louis, LB, Pittsburgh

Kyle Louis is a fluid, instinctual coverage linebacker who thrives in space, displaying the range and ball skills to effectively impact the passing game like a modern sub-package defender. While undersized when engaging blockers, he compensates with elite processing speed and the versatility to align anywhere from the slot to the middle of the field.

71 – Domonique Orange, DI, Iowa State

Domonique Orange is a physical interior anchor who thrives at the point of attack with his prototypical 325-pound frame. He pairs a “see-ball-get-ball” motor with the raw strength needed to stonewall rushing lanes, making him a reliable, high-effort run defender.

72 – De’Zhaun Stribling, WR, Mississippi

73 – Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson

74 – Malik Muhammad, CB, Texas

75 – Sam Roush, TE, Stanford
