JACKSONVILLE – The guessing and projecting are accelerating.
That's the early February norm in the NFL – and when it comes to the Jaguars and Round 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft, the early projections and guessing are varying both in terms of position and side of the ball.
Linebacker. Cornerback. Offensive line.
Those are some of the prominent positions in this week's jaguars.com 2026 Mock Draft Tracker, with multiple draft analysts projecting players at those positions to the Jaguars at No. 56 overall. We're focusing on Round 2 and beyond in the mock draft tracker this offseason because the Jaguars do not currently hold a selection in Round 1.
The Jaguars traded that selection to the Cleveland Browns last offseason in a multi-selection trade that allowed them to select wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Here's a look at the Jaguars' selections in the '26 draft:
Round 2 (original Jaguars selection), Round 3 (Jaguars), Round 3 (acquired in a trade with the Detroit Lions), Round 3 (Detroit Lions, compensatory), Round 4 (Jaguars), Round 5 (Jaguars), Round 5 (Philadelphia Eagles/conditional), Round 6 (Philadelphia Eagles through Houston Texans), Round 7 (Jaguars), Round 7 (Los Angeles Rams through Texans) and Round 7 (Detroit Lions).
Here's the second jaguars.com 2026 mock draft tracker, with a look at players analysts believe the Jaguars may select No. 56 overall:

- Other projected Jaguars selections in Infante's January 31 three-round mock: Emmett Johnson, running back, Nebraska (Round 3); Ted Hurst, wide receiver, Georgia (Round 3).
