Below you will find a post-Super Bowl 56 roundup for the Jaguars in our consensus 2022 NFL Power Rankings.
ESPN -- Rank: 32
Offseason in three or fewer words: Change is good
Not only did the Jaguars hire new head coach Doug Pederson, but owner Shad Khan is also committed to making changes in the front office structure by adding an executive vice president and another executive under GM Trent Baalke. Khan wants more football knowledge in the building to beef up their personnel decisions, especially at the draft. Only eight of the 52 draft picks from 2012 to 2018 signed second contracts with the team -- including offensive tackle Cam Robinson playing on the franchise tag in 2021. Only one -- quarterback Blake Bortles -- was taken in the first round. -- Michael DiRocco

NFL.com -- Rank: 32
The Jaguars are like the kid (or grown adult Power Rankings guy) who slaps the reset button when things start to go sideways in a game of Tecmo Bowl. The team completely botched Year 1 of Trevor Lawrence with the disastrous Urban Meyer hiring, but landing on Doug Pederson feels like a solid move (even if the circuitous route to the former Eagles coach hinted at continued dysfunction within). A 3-14 season means Jacksonville is armed with the No. 1 overall pick for the second consecutive year to go with more projected cap space than 30 other teams. Time to take another crack at this thing.
CBS Sports -- Rank: 31
They hired the right coach for Trevor Lawrence in landing Doug Pederson. There are already rave reviews on the new feel inside the building compared to the last coach.
USA Today -- Rank: 28
As it pertains to QB Trevor Lawrence, Super Bowl-winning coach > college national championship coach.
The Athletic -- Rank: 32
What will you remember most about the Urban Meyer era in Jacksonville? Was it the video in the bar? Reportedly kicking his kicker? His failed attempt to resurrect Tim Tebow's football career? Or that he was fired after coaching just 13 NFL games? All of it was very bad for the Jaguars, and now new coach Doug Pederson must clean up the messes Meyer left behind and build an offense that will help quarterback Trevor Lawrence make a big jump in production in 2022.
