Round 2
Pick 56 — Gabe Jacas | EDGE | Illinois
6’4” | 260 lbs
Gabe Jacas brings size, power, and a relentless motor to Jacksonville’s defensive front. He projects as a rotational edge rusher early with long-term starting upside.
Player Comparison
Jacas closely compares to former Pro Bowl pass rusher Brian Orakpo due to his physical build and power-based pass rush.
Round 3
Pick 81 — Jake Golday | LB | Cincinnati
6’4½” | 240 lbs
Jake Golday is a massive linebacker with explosive athletic ability you don’t typically see from a nearly 6’5”, 240-pound defender. His size, range, and coverage ability give him three-down upside.
Player Comparison
Golday resembles former Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd and also draws comparisons to former Pro Bowl linebacker K. J. Wright.
Pick 88 — Domonique Orange | DT | Iowa State
6’2” | 322 lbs
Domonique Orange is a wide-bodied run-stuffer who excels at anchoring and clogging running lanes.
Player Comparison
Orange compares to longtime NFL veteran Johnathan Hankins. Jacksonville could also hope he reaches the upside of Dexter Lawrence.
Pick 100 — Isaiah World | OT | Oregon
6’6” | 323 lbs
Isaiah World is a massive four-year starter who began his career at Nevada before transferring to Oregon.
World possesses heavy, ferocious hands, nearly 35-inch arms, and the ability to play tackle or slide inside to guard. His length makes him extremely difficult for edge rushers to beat.
World did suffer a torn ACL in the College Football Playoff, but once recovered, he projects as a plug-and-play offensive lineman.

Ephesians Prysock offers rare size and athleticism at cornerback. He ran a 4.45 40-yard dash at 6’4, 196 pounds, and that speed clearly shows up on tape.
His length and press ability make him a high-upside outside corner.
Player Comparison
Prysock compares to Pro Bowl corner Riq Woolen.
Round 5

Sam Roush posted a 9.94 RAS with elite testing numbers:

Round 6
Pick 203 — Adam Randall | RB | Clemson
6’3” | 232 lbs
Adam Randall is one of the more intriguing late-round offensive weapons in this class. A former wide receiver converted to running back, Randall brings unique versatility and upside.
Randall runs with an upright style and long strides, often appearing as if he’s gliding across the field. At 6’3”, 232 pounds, he offers rare size for a running back while still maintaining strong athletic ability.
Randall also offers:
Pass-catching ability
Return game upside
Versatility as an offensive weapon
Elusiveness for his size
4.5 speed at 232 pounds
This is a classic late-round pick with high potential return on investment.
Player Comparison
Randall compares to Cordarrelle Patterson due to positional versatility, return ability, and size-speed combination.
Round 7
Pick 233 — Jeff Caldwell | WR | Cincinnati
6’5” | 216 lbs
Jeff Caldwell posted a 9.99 RAS with elite testing:
4.31 40-yard dash
42” vertical
1.48 10-yard split
11’2” broad jump
Caldwell averaged one touchdown every four receptions in college and offers elite vertical threat ability. Both Caldwell and Marquez Valdes-Scantling possess freakish speed for their size, the ability to take the top off defenses, and strong run-blocking ability.
Player Comparison
Marquez Valdes-Scantling
Pick 240 — Caden Curry | EDGE | Ohio State
6’3” | 257 lbs
Caden Curry is a slightly undersized edge rusher with a relentless motor and nonstop effort.
Player Comparison
Curry compares closely to Kaimon Rucker, with both players being slightly undersized edge defenders with high motors and pass rush upside.
Pick 245 — Zxavian Harris | DT | Ole Miss
6’8” | 330 lbs
Zxavian Harris is a massive high-risk, high-reward defensive tackle with rare size and length.
However, Harris comes with several red flags:
Multiple arrests in college
Recent foot surgery
Inconsistent development
Despite these concerns, Harris possesses massive potential. If he can put everything together, Jacksonville could land the second coming of John Henderson.
