The Jaguars picked tight end Nate Boerkircher, defensive tackle Albert Regis, and guard Emmanuel Pregnon at picks 56, 81, and 88, plus another player at 100, aiming to strengthen coach Liam Coen’s offense.
Boerkircher’s addition enables more versatile tight end formations, while Pregnon is set to challenge Patrick Mekari at right guard and Regis adds depth to the defensive line.
The team did not draft an outside linebacker, leaving Brandon Combs and Ventrell Miller unchallenged for the starting role, and running backs Chris Rodriguez, Bhayshul Tuten, and LeQuint Allen, Jr. retain their positions.
