With the 2026 NFL draft near, we will be taking a position-by-position look at where things stand with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The draft will take place from Apr. 23-25. Although the Jaguars are without a first-round pick, GM James Gladstone does have 11 picks in total to work with -- tied for the second-most in the NFL.

He also has four selections in the top 100, giving him the ability to still address key needs and the flexibility to let the board dictate what he does or move around as he sees fit.

Up next in our preview are the cornerbacks. If you missed our other previews, you can find them below.

Adding Montaric Brown back into the mix greatly reduced the Jaguars' need to address the cornerback position. He and Travis Hunter will start on the outside, Jourdan Lewis will be at the nickel, while Jarrian Jones provides experienced depth. I would guess we still see James Gladstone add to this position in the draft, but no longer does doing so right away feel like a must.

With help from the consensus big board, here are the top cornerback prospects in this year's draft class outside of the top 30, with the Jaguars' first selection coming at 56th overall.
