The 2025 NFL Draft will be the first draft of the new James Gladstone and Liam Coen era of the Jacksonville Jaguars. After back-to-back seasons of missing the playoffs and a disappointing 4-13 season in 2024, this is an important draft for the Jaguars to get back on track in the promising direction it seemed the franchise was going after the 2022 season. This seven-round Jacksonville Jaguars mock draft explores how the team could go about rebuilding the roster and retooling both sides of the ball to return to playoff contention in 2025.
Jacksonville Jaguars Mock Draft
Round 1, Pick 5: IDL Mason Graham, Michigan
The Jaguars could look to get Coen another dynamic offensive player like Ashton Jeanty, but the team did not address the defensive line in free agency and still has a big need there. Graham is one of the best players in the draft, and arguably the best interior defensive lineman in this year’s class. He is a consistent pass rusher and an elite run defender who was graded as the highest-rated run defender in college football last season, according to PFF. Graham is a high-floor prospect who can make an immediate impact as a day-one starter on the defensive line for the Jaguars.

Round 2, Pick 36: CB Trey Amos, Ole Miss
The Jaguars continue to bolster the defense in the second round by adding Amos to the secondary. The Jaguars added Jourdan Lewis in free agency, but still have room for improvement at cornerback, and Amos gives the defense a physical and lengthy cornerback who, like Graham, is an experienced prospect with the ability to be an immediate impact starter on the defense.
Round 3, Pick 70: WR Kyle Williams, Washington State
In the third round of this Jacksonville Jaguars mock draft, Liam Coen and Trevor Lawrence get their first weapon added to the offense. The Jaguars need to find consistent production at receiver outside of Brian Thomas Jr., especially with the loss of Christian Kirk this offseason. Williams is one of the best route runners in the 2025 NFL Draft and can create separation on all levels of the field. He is not the biggest receiver, but he complements Thomas Jr. well and can line up both outside and in the slot at the next level.

Round 3, Pick 88: S Billy Bowman Jr., Oklahoma
The Jaguars did add Eric Murray in free agency, but could still look to improve the safety position further in the draft. Bowman is a rangy playmaking safety with good ball skills. He lacks ideal size and consistency as a tackler, but he is a fluid athlete with the football IQ and playmaking ability to potentially develop into a starting-caliber safety in the NFL.

Round 4, Pick 107: IOL Dylan Fairchild, Georgia
Fairchild is a strong and athletic guard who plays with a high motor. Fairchild still has some technique and consistency problems he will need to improve on at the next level. However, with his athletic ability, at his size, he is a strong developmental offensive line prospect with starter upside.
Round 4, Pick 126: RB DJ Giddens, Kansas State
The Jaguars add more depth at running back with the athletic and elusive Giddens. Giddens has a good combination of size, speed and explosiveness. He was extremely productive at Kansas State and has the ability to make an impact as both a runner and receiver for the Jaguars.
Round 5, Pick 142: TE Jake Briningstool, Clemson
The Jaguars add another playmaker to the tight end room and pair Lawrence with another Clemson alumnus in this mock draft. Briningstool is not a strong blocking tight end, but he is a reliable pass-catcher who knows how to get open against zone coverage and pick up extra yards after the catch.

Round 6, Pick 182: DL Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Georgia
Ingram-Dawkins has a good combination of size, strength, and athleticism. He is a solid run defender with the versatility to play multiple positions on the defensive line. Ingram-Dawkins isn’t a great pass rusher, but he adds value as a versatile defensive lineman with good length, strength, and run-defense ability.
Round 6, Pick 194: OT Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, Florida
A big and powerful offensive tackle with a ton of experience. Crenshaw-Dickson stands over 6-foot-7 inches and started 46 games during his college career. He also offers versatility with experience as both a left tackle and right tackle. It is possible that Crenshaw-Dickson may not have the athletic ability to be a full-time starting tackle at the next level, but with his size, experience, and swing tackle ability he can be a quality depth offensive lineman with some upside.

Round 7, Pick 221: LB Kain Medrano, UCLA
Medrano is an experienced linebacker who has some upside as a coverage linebacker in the NFL. He is an older prospect and currently lacks great size and strength. However, he is a very good athlete and has a lot of experience on special teams. He shows a ton of promise as a great special-teams contributor in the NFL.
