Brian Thomas Jr. struggled in 2025. Why Jaguars should still keep him (Florida Times-Union)
Jaguars receivers admitted late last year that Coen’s offense is difficult to learn because of the amount of pre-snap and post-snap checks and decisions. This team is built to compete for a Super Bowl right now and having Thomas instead of a learning-on-the-job rookie benefits the championship chase.
What 4-Round Pre-Combine Mock Draft Means for Jaguars (Jaguars on SI)
The Jaguars could reasonably not sign a cornerback in March and then use their top pick in April on one, giving them a young cornerback to grow with Hunter and Jarrian Jones and fill out the unit. Once Lewis returns to the fold, the Jaguars would have some versatility and depth, while Ohio State’s Davison Igbinosun is a key fit ina zone-heavy scheme while offering more speed than Brown and Newsome.

The Jags must address the secondary this offseason, and Igbinosun’s 6-2, 195-pound frame is ideal for an outside cornerback. He plays with a level of physicality that has exposed him to penalties, but that can be harnessed by coach Liam Coen and defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile, who should love the playing style. Coen also has a relationship with Ohio State coach Ryan Day, so he should be plenty familiar with the program’s draft prospects. Igbinosun should start immediately.

He will get more in guarantees in 2026, if only so his new team can spread his salary out more. For a deal to work in Duval, it would take those sorts of machinations—Jacksonville currently sports the third-worst cap situation in the NFL.

Who are the top defensive prospects entering the 2026 NFL combine? (CBS Sports)
Jake Golday is the one linebacker I think could go earlier than most expect for one big reason: he embodies where the position is going in the NFL. Everyone wants a linebacker who can rush the passer like a defensive end yet still hold his own in coverage. Golday actually started his career as a defensive end and will give whatever defense drafts him the flexibility to move him around.
