The Jacksonville Jaguars' 2026 roster is now largely set following the NFL draft, leaving fans wondering where the team stands in the latest power rankings. The answer? Not exactly where they'd hoped.

From draft analysts to NFL executives, the consensus is clear: Jacksonville's 2026 draft class underwhelmed. The team's free agency period was equally quiet, with the only outside addition being running back Chris Rodriguez. General Manager James Gladstone kept a sharp eye on the 2027 compensatory picks the Jaguars are projected to receive, which explains the conservative approach.

Meanwhile, the departures of Devin Lloyd, Travis Etienne, Greg Newsome, and Andrew Wingard to other teams have left noticeable gaps on the roster. These losses, paired with minimal additions, likely played a key role in the team's middling power ranking placement.

But there's a silver lining. The Jaguars are entering Year 2 under their new offensive and defensive systems. Instead of learning new schemes from scratch this offseason, the team can build on the foundation established in 2025. That continuity can be a catalyst for improved play—even if it doesn't show up on a roster or stat sheet during the offseason.

Here's what the experts are saying:

Eric Edholm: "I'll be honest: I didn't love the Jaguars' haul. I don't know too many folks who did. It felt like a team that didn't care for the draft class as a whole, felt pretty good about the roster in general and decided to take players it liked, with little regard to value. That's fine and good, as long as the approach works. We'll see."

Pete Prisco: "Their draft was perplexing to some, but tight end Nate Boerkircher will be a good player. The biggest move this year: Getting Travis Hunter back healthy to start at corner."

Ralph Vacchiano: "They didn't have a first-round pick and reached for a blocking tight end who caught just 36 passes in five years in college. They've got a lot of holes, and their offseason overall hasn't been good."

Brent Sobleski: "Aside from Travis Hunter coming back healthy..."

For Jaguars fans, the path forward hinges on internal development and system familiarity. While the offseason moves may not have turned heads, the foundation is in place for a potential leap—if the pieces fall into place.
