Jacksonville Jaguars NFL Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

Haynes began his college career at Alabama and has averaged a staggering 6.5 yards per carry over his first three seasons. He ran for 857 yards a year ago before succumbing to a right foot injury which required surgery. If he can remain healthy, he might double those numbers next year and run himself into the first round.

Robinson was a revelation last season, earning freshman All-American honors after a redshirt 2024. His four interceptions tied for the SEC lead.

A powerful edge rusher who leverages a low center of gravity to collapse the pocket and physically overwhelm blockers. Ross displays impressive lateral agility to redirect in space; inline TEs will struggle to block him in the run game.

Wilson had nine sacks at Missouri in 2025 before transferring to Miami in the offseason. He has a chance to fill the edge rusher void for the national runner-ups, who just saw Rueben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor get drafted in Round 1. Wilson could be next after a year working with defensive line coach Jason Taylor and has excellent length and acceleration to close on QBs. The Jaguars had only 32 sacks in 2025 (27th in the NFL) despite having Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen, so Wilson could give them a key rotational rusher.

The top-ranked safety at this point in the process, Bolden lacks ideal size, but he makes plays in the run game and in coverage (he also had a blocked punt in 2025).

With Reuben Bain and Akheem Mesidor coming off the board in the first round of Thursday's NFL Draft, it's time to get familiar with Moten. At 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds, he's a bull in a china shop, pairing an explosive first step with the quickness to disrupt opposing backfields. A versatile piece who can line up across the front, don't be surprised if he comes off the board earlier than expected.

Smith is arguably the best offensive tackle in college football entering 2026. However, after deciding to return to Indiana for his fifth season, he will not have the same age advantage as other offensive tackle prospects. Smith won Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year last season while protecting Fernando Mendoza's blind side.
