One Wide Receiver Target for Jaguars in Each Round of the Draft

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars are just a month away from having nearly a dozen picks at their disposal.

When the Jaguars do kick off the 2026 NFL Draft, it stands to reason they have the flexibility to consider every possibility -- even at wide receiver. Here are receiver options who make sense for each round the Jaguars have a selection in.

Round 2: Germie Bernard, Alabama

While it would not make much sense for the Jaguars to use the No. 56 pick on a wide receiver, Germie Bernard is the receiver I would at least consider if one pass-catcher had to be. I bet the McVay-influenced teams are going to love him thanks to his ability to win from the slot and on the outside, showing the hands and athleticism to be a versatile weapon for a creative play-caller.

Round 3: Skyler Bell, UConn

While Skyler Bell is not a bigger receiver like many of the others on this list, he is an explosive playmaker who can threaten defenses at all three levels of the field. While the Jaguars are clearly looking for a niche role player for one receiver spot, I think a top-100 pick on a dynamic long-term option like Bell would appeal to Liam Coen and James Gladstone.

Round 4: Ja'Kobi Lane, USC

One of the best big receivers in the draft class is USC's Ja'Kobi Lane. Standing at 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds with arms that are over 32.5 inches long, Lane is a true red-zone threat who can play against press coverage on the outside. Lane did not have the USC passing game flowing through him by any means, but he would be a quality addition to a receiver room that does not have much size outside of Brian Thomas Jr.

Round 5: Josh Cameron, Baylor

A big receiver at 6-foot-1 and 220 pounds, Josh Cameron is a unique athlete at the position. He has the physical traits to live on the outside, which is where the Jaguars need the most depth right now. His ability to win jumpballs and act as a reliable target would be reminiscent of what Tim Patrick brought last season.

Round 6: Eli Heidenreich, Navy

A unique player who played several roles in Navy's offense, Eli Heidenreich likely projects as a special teamer and slot receiver at the next level. He does seem to have some traits with the ball in his hands that would make him an interesting weapon to stash, while the Jaguars also drafted his Navy teammate, Rayuan Lane, last season.

Round 7: Chase Roberts, BYU

Chase Roberts would certainly not be a surprising late-round add for the Jaguars. The former BYU captain produced for four seasons, has the type of big-bodied frame the Jaguars are looking for at 6-foot-3, and he is an older prospect. His slow 40 and age will likely knock him down some, but he could be valuable as a depth receiver.
