Jaguars’ 2026 Draft Class Faces Criticism From Executives

Anonymous NFL executives told The Athletic’s Mike Sando that the Jaguars’ 2026 draft choices were “not liked at all” and reflected a traits‑based approach. They said the team reached for several selections, finishing last in draft class value. GM James Gladstone defended the picks as “fits the bill” for the club’s vision, though critics note a heavy focus on tight ends and a lack of pressing needs. The execs highlighted concerns that the draft strategy may not align with the league’s film‑based evaluation standards. likesport.biz
