With 10 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars are scheduled to make the third-most selections in the league. The upcoming draft will mark the first of the new regime, led by first-year general manager James Gladstone and first-year head coach Liam Coen.
Jacksonville went just 4-13 in 2024, giving them the No. 5 overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. The team gained its influx of late-round selections from previous trades but received zero compensatory picks. However, with 10 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Jaguars have the most draft capital in the league over the next two years.
Since hiring Coen, Gladstone has already gotten the ball rolling in free agency. Like most rebuilding rosters, the Jaguars were active in free agency, both in adding and removing players. Jacksonville notably signed Jourdan Lewis, Eric Murray, Dyami Brown, Patrick Mekari and Nick Mullens. The team also cleansed itself of veterans Evan Engram, Christian Kirk and Josh Reynolds, while center Mitch Morse retired.
All factors considered, the Jaguars’ roster is still far superior to the record they had in 2024. They are only three years removed from an AFC South title. Regardless, the frustrating inconsistency over the last decade has the restless fan base desperately hoping the Gladstone-Coen era gets off on the right foot in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Here is the Jaguars’ seven-round mock draft, according to the Pro Football Focus NFL Draft simulator.
With their first pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, the PFF mock draft simulator has the Jaguars taking Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham. Considering many rank Graham as a top-three prospect, getting him at No. 5 would be fair value. Graham just wrapped up one of the most dominant careers for a defensive tackle in Michigan football history, ending 2024 with 46 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
Beyond veteran Arik Armstead, the Jaguars do not have much depth in their interior defensive line. Graham would immediately have a chance to alter the landscape of Jacksonville’s defense, which has had a void in the middle for several years. After years of receiving constant double teams at Michigan, Graham’s presence on the Jaguars’ defensive line would create all sorts of mismatches with Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker beside him. Coen and defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile would have to be bursting with anticipation on the potential chaos Graham could create for them.
The PFF mock draft simulator has the Jaguars investing in their defensive line again with their second pick and taking Texas A&M edge rusher Nic Scourton. A pure pass-rush specialist, Scourton tallied five sacks in 2024 after racking up 10 with Purdue in 2023. While his numbers and overall production dropped, he still has the size and strength to be an immediate contributor.
With rumors that the Jaguars could potentially trade former No. 1 pick Travon Walker, the team could need to pursue edge...
