James Gladstone, the general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars, has established a clear draft trend favoring experienced prospects, akin to his previous role with the Los Angeles Rams. According to ESPN analyst Jordan Reid, Gladstone has not utilized top-30 visits in his draft strategy, opting instead for players who can contribute immediately. In the previous draft, eight out of nine selections had amassed at least 1,700 career college snaps, with four players exceeding 2,000 snaps. This emphasis on experience is intended to ease the transition to the NFL, allowing players to make an immediate impact. Looking ahead, Daire Carragher of Pro Football Focus has highlighted several experienced prospects for the 2026 NFL draft, including De'Zhaun Stribling (WR, Ole Miss), Blake Miller (OT, Clemson), and Mikail Kamara (DE, Indiana), among others. These players could align with the Jaguars' strategy of selecting seasoned talent.
