The 2026 NFL Draft kicks off live from Pittsburgh on Thursday, April 23 and the latest crop of rookies will be hearing their names called all weekend long. For the Jacksonville Jaguars, the biggest need is an obvious one: Linebacker.
Pro Bowl linebacker Devin Lloyd, who led the team with five interceptions, was USA TODAY Sports’ top free agent before signing a multi-year deal with Carolina. Lloyd and Foyesade Oluokun formed one of the top linebacking units in the NFL. The Jags could find Lloyd’s replacement in this year’s draft.
