Jaguars Land Mid-Round Steal in Oregon Guard Emmanuel Pregnon

Despite the Jacksonville Jaguars' 2026 NFL Draft class receiving a D+ grade, the selection of Oregon’s Emmanuel Pregnon stands out as a premier mid-round steal. While the team's overall strategy was criticized for prioritizing depth needs over PFF Big Board value and reaching on several picks, Pregnon is viewed as a high-value addition. The Jaguars utilized PFF Advanced Stats to identify the guard, who remains a bright spot in a draft class otherwise characterized by significant reaches.
