Who did the Jacksonville Jaguars end up selecting in this seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft?
It’s not often that at this stage of the pre-draft process do we see a full seven-round NFL mock draft. So when one does pop up, we’ve got to break down and react to each of the Jaguars’ selections.
Ian Cummings of Pro Football Network recently made each pick for all 32 teams over the full seven rounds of the draft. Here is who he had the Jaguars taking and what you need to know:
Pick 5: Will Campbell, OT, LSU
Mason Graham is a popular pick for the Jaguars here, but he was off the board already. So the Jaguars instead bolster their offensive line, a position group that Liam Coen said does have to improve. Campbell can add competition at tackle or he can play guard. A more consistent run game for the Jaguars will be a key part of their turnaround on offense.
Pick 36: Jalen Royals, WR, Utah State
Cummings mentions that Royals would bring an “all-around” skill set to the receiver position. Royals had 1,084 yards in 2023 and totaled 839 yards in only seven games last season. He was one of the standout performers at this year’s Senior Bowl.
Pick 70: Jahdae Barron, CB, Texas
There have been a lot of mock drafts where Barron is a first round pick–so I’m not sure how he’s available here. Barron was excellent last season, allowing a completion rate of just 54%, only 7.8 yards per catch, and had five interceptions along with nine pass breakups.
Pick 88: Alfred Collins, IDL, Texas
“An explosive, power-generating brawler with untapped potential,” wrote Cummings. Collins’ bread and butter is as a run-stuffer in the middle of a defensive front, an area where the Jaguars can use additional help.
Pick 106: Dylan Fairchild, G, Georgia
Success for any offense starts in the trenches, and as mentioned, that’s an area for the Jaguars that must improve. Fairchild has graded out as an above average run-blocker by PFF’s metrics but has been particularly good in pass protection, allowing just one sack and 14 pressures over the last two seasons combined.
Pick 125: Cody Simon, LB, Ohio State
There may not be another position group on the Jaguars defense that benefits more from the addition of Anthony Campanile than the linebackers. Simon was a productive blitzer and among the best linebackers against the run by PFF’s metrics.
Pick 143: Woody Marks, RB, USC
Marks was extremely dynamic as a ball carrier, totaling 1,133 yards in 2024 on 5.7 yards per attempt. He was also a factor in the passing game with 54 targets and as we saw from the Tampa Bay running backs last season, being able to impact the passing game was an important part of Liam Coen’s offense.
Pick 184: Luke Lachey, TE, Iowa
Lachey was a big part of the Iowa run game, often utilized as a blocker. As mentioned, run game success will be crucial for the Jaguars’ offense and having a tight end who can hold his own as a blocker will be a big part of that equation. In 2024, Lachey had 28 receptions at 8.3 yards per catch.
Pick 223: Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville
The Jaguars will have to add at quarterback this offseason with Trevor Lawrence currently the only player under contract at that position. Shough had a career year in 2024, completing 62% of his passes for 3,191 yards with 23 touchdowns to six interceptions.
