Top three needs: CB, DT, S. The Jaguars added Jourdan Lewis in free agency to be the nickel. That helps, but they don't have another outside corner opposite Tyson Campbell. Jarrian Jones showed flashes as a rookie in 2024 and will have to compete for playing time. Campbell, who signed a four-year, $76.5 million contract last July, has missed 11 games in the past two seasons and hasn't played at the level he did in 2022.
The Jaguars also need an interior disruptor to boost the run defense and create push in the middle, which was missing last season and would help edge rushers Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker. Eric Murray and Darnell Savage are the likely starting safeties, but both joined the team as free agents and aren't viewed as long-term starters. -- Michael DiRocco
