Jacksonville Jaguars 2027 NFL Draft Needs and Projected Picks
What the Jaguars are working with in the 2027 draft: the needs we have researched for this cycle, the capital the projected order gives them, and which prospects are projected into their range.
Where the Jaguars stand
The 2027 draft has not been held, so there are no picks to report and nothing here is a result. This page is the pre-draft picture: what this roster is missing, what the projected order hands them, and who is likely to be there when they are on the clock.
As the projected order stands, the Jaguars hold 7 selections in 2027: 1 on Day 1, 2 across Day 2 and 4 on Day 3, with 3 inside the top 100. Every one of those slots is their own: this front office has not yet moved a 2027 pick in either direction.
Projected draft capital
| Round | Overall | Origin |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | Own pick |
| 2 | 52 | Own pick |
| 3 | 84 | Own pick |
| 4 | 116 | Own pick |
| 5 | 148 | Own pick |
| 6 | 180 | Own pick |
| 7 | 212 | Own pick |
Projected order. The 2027 draft order is set by the 2026 regular season and is not known until January.
Roster needs entering the 2027 cycle
Our needs assessment for the Jaguars, ordered by priority. These are not decorative: the number beside each one is the multiplier the simulator applies to a prospect at that position when this team is on the clock, so a interior offensive line prospect is genuinely harder for this team to pass on than his board rank alone implies.
Team needs were researched for this class from current rosters. They predate free agency and will be revised after March 2027.
Position rankings for their top needs: Interior Offensive Line, Offensive Tackle, Defensive Tackle.
Who is projected into their range
Prospects currently projected inside the 15 picks either side of No. 20, where the Jaguars pick first. Restricted to positions on their needs list, ordered by how heavily that need is weighted, and capped at 3 per position so one need does not fill the table.
| Board rank | Prospect | Pos | School | Projected range | Need |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | Carter Smith | IOL | Indiana | 8-38 | need 1 |
| 28 | Austin Siereveld | IOL | Ohio State | 23-43 | need 1 |
| 10 | Jordan Seaton | OT | LSU | 5-12 | need 2 |
| 12 | Trevor Goosby | OT | Texas | 8-17 | need 2 |
| 16 | David Stone | DT | Oklahoma | 8-18 | need 3 |
| 32 | A'Mauri Washington | DT | Oregon | 11-35 | need 3 |
| 22 | William Echoles | DT | Ole Miss | 15-36 | need 3 |
| 8 | Cam Coleman | WR | Texas | 5-13 | need 4 |
Rows are selected on the consensus projection. The range beside each one is where public mocks disagree: a prospect listed 20-45 is one whose projections genuinely span that much, and a wide range on a lightly-covered player reflects thin coverage rather than real volatility. Ranges are taken from published mock drafts where we have them and modelled from board position where we do not.
How this front office drafts
Rebuild the defensive front and create a balanced, efficient offense. Coen's offense prioritizes line play and defensive awareness. Gladstone as a new GM is establishing a culture with an emphasis on high-character, high-production college players.
Inside the simulator, this regime splits evenly between taking the best player available and drafting for need, and is more likely to trade back and collect picks than to move up (30 against 20). Its clearest positional preferences are linebacker, edge rusher, defensive tackle, which the engine applies on top of the needs list above.
Liam Coen comes from a background running efficient, ball-control offenses. Gladstone is a new voice in the organization without an extensive track record. The Jaguars' most glaring needs are defensive, at linebacker and interior pass-rush, and expect those positions to dominate early picks.
What this page is not
It is not a mock draft, and it is not a prediction of what the Jaguars will do. Two of its three inputs will change before the draft is held: the order is set by a season that has not been played, and the needs list predates free agency, which reliably removes two or three items from every team's list and occasionally adds one. The board itself will move most of all.
We publish it anyway because the order-independent part is real and useful now. A front office's needs, its draft capital and the shape of the class it is drafting from are knowable months before the order is, and they are what actually drive a mock draft. Known gaps in the 2027 data: New York Jets general manager is unconfirmed.
