The Jaguars’ four selections—Trotter (LB, Missouri), Halton (DT, Oklahoma), Thompson (WR, Missouri) and Smith (S, Arizona)—boost depth at linebacker, defensive tackle, receiver and safety. Trotter adds competition next to Foye Oluokun, while Halton strengthens the interior line and Smith replenishes safety depth after Andrew Wingard’s departure.
However, the picks miss the team’s top positional need: defensive end. With a talent‑rich class on Day 2, the Jaguars could have prioritized that spot. Overall, the draft haul earns a B+ for its depth but lack of focus on the most pressing need.
