We are less than a week away from the 2025 NFL draft, so NFL.com’s Chad Reuter has put together his final mock, where he makes all 257 selections. So, who did the Jacksonville Jaguars end up selecting?
Let’s break it all down with our instant takeaways and analysis of each pick.
Jaguars pick at 5: Mason Graham, IDL, Michigan
Ashton Jeanty to the Jaguars seems to be picking up steam, but Reuter goes with Mason Graham–a selection that makes plenty of sense. After not adding to this unit in free agency, defensive tackle is the Jaguars’ biggest need, and Graham is considered the top tackle prospect in this year’s draft. When there is a strong interior presence, the entire defense will benefit.
“It seems like this pick is meant to be — the Jaguars did not address their defensive line needs in free agency,” wrote Reuter. “Graham’s ability to attack the backfield and maintain the line of scrimmage make him a clear top-five value to me.”
Jaguars pick at 36: Maxwell Hairston, CB, Kentucky
I like this pick a lot. Hairston is a terrific athlete and had terrific ball production last season. His presence will bolster the depth at cornerback, which is needed, and provide competition for Jarrian Jones at that second boundary position opposite of Tyson Campbell.
Jaguars pick at 70: Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami
Tight end isn’t a position that has to be addressed after free agency, but the additions of Hunter Long and Johnny Mundt also shouldn’t stop the Jaguars from adding here if the right player is available. Arroyo had a breakout year in 2024 and was a big play threat in the passing game. However, is he stout enough as a blocker for Liam Coen’s liking?
Jaguars pick at 80: Billy Bowman Jr., S, Oklahoma
Similarly to cornerback with Jourdan Lewis, adding Eric Murray at safety provided needed stability. However, finding depth and competition for that second starting spot should still be on GM James Gladstone’s to-do list. Of note, most of Bowman’s snaps have come at free safety, which is where Murray is expected to play.
Jaguars pick at 107: Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
My gut says the Jaguars pick a wide receiver before the fourth round, but landing Ayomanor here feels like a steal. He’s a big-bodied wide out and a very willing run blocker as well. The Jaguars have to boost the depth at this position after moving in from several receivers during free agency, but in addition to that, adding competition for the No. 2 and No. 3 wideout roles would be the prudent move as well, to ensure they are getting the most out of those roles.
Jaguars pick at 126: David Walker, DE, Central Arkansas
It’s only a matter of time before the Jaguars add a second defensive lineman in this year’s draft. After not making any additions in free agency–and understandably so, given how deep the draft class is here–the stage is set for Gladstoen to double-dip along the defensive line. As he said, they need to make sure there is room on the roster for incoming rookies. to be able to contribute.
Jaguars pick at 142: Clay Webb, G, Jacksonville State
Of course, there are only so many needs that can be addressed in the early going, but offensive line feels like a position that we see Gladstone tackle before the fifth round. They added heavily here in free agency, but none of those contracts or signings should stop them from adding competition and further improving this unit. There are still unknowns regarding what the Jaguars actually have up front. So in that case, give yourself options.
Jaguars pick at 182: Devin Neal, RB, Kansas
Another pick I really like for the Jaguars. With only three running backs on the roster currently, this is a position that has to be added to. In addition to that, while the focus is on Trevor Lawrence, a key element in helping to get the passing game back on track will be having a strong running game to lean on. This will keep the offense out of predictable passing situations, along with the running game and passing game concepts in Coen’s offense working hand-in-hand.
Jaguars pick at 194: Teddye Buchanan, LB, Cal
Linebacker isn’t a pressing need, but the later you go into a draft, positional need can take a back seat, especially for a team with as many picks as the Jaguars have. From a planning-ahead standpoint, as of now, Devin Lloyd is set to be a free agent in 2026, and Foyesade Oluokun is heading into his age-30 season.
Jaguars pick at 221: Dominic Lovett, WR, Georgia
Again, you get to Round 7, and just about anything is on the table. Also, while the Jaguars already addressed receiver in this mock, from a numbers standpoint, they moved on from four wide receivers this offseason (Christian Kirk, Tim Jones, Devin Duvernay, and Josh Reynolds) and in free agency, only brought one in (Dyami Brown).
