INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA — Jacksonville Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said the team uses an internal consensus process to direct its selections at the 2026 NFL Draft in Indianapolis.

"We build consensus internally, and that is leveraged at every pick point. Our wisdom of the collective is how we phrase it, and it is what guides our decision-making. And I can tell you that when we get up on the clock, we're looking at the draft board and we see on it our sentiment and Duval DNA, and those are the two north stars, so to speak, and that is a collective output," Gladstone said.

The Jaguars entered the draft without a first-round pick, having traded their 2026 first-rounder to the Cleveland Browns in the 2025 deal that moved them up to the second overall pick to select Travis Hunter. Jacksonville made three selections on the second and third days of the draft.

With the 56th overall pick in the second round, Jacksonville selected Texas A&M tight end Nate Boerkircher. Boerkircher was not ranked among the Top 300 players on the consensus board published by Arif Hasan on his Wide Left SubStack, which aggregates the big boards of more than 100 experts who work outside NFL buildings and produces a Top 300 list.

In the third round, the Jaguars used the 81st overall pick on Texas A&M interior defensive lineman Albert Regis, who was ranked 150th on the consensus board. Seven picks later, at No. 88, Jacksonville selected Oregon guard Emmanuel Pregnon, who was ranked 41st on the same board.
