Draft prospects who could blow up at the NFL Combine (Big Cat Country)

Life in Starkville has been tough the past few seasons. But wide receiver Brenen Thompson made a wise decision leaving Oklahoma for Mississippi State last year, enjoying a breakout campaign that saw him break 1,000 yards receiving. Key to that production was his unparalleled speed, with many expecting him to challenge Matthew Golden's 4.29 second forty from last season. Thompson's average depth of target (aDOT) last season was an outrageous 18.4 yards - for context, the NFL average is around 11.0.

Roster Moves: Jaguars Re-Sign CB Keith Taylor (Jaguars.com)

The Jacksonville Jaguars have re-signed CB Keith Taylor, the team announced today. Taylor joined Jacksonville in December. He was originally selected by the Carolina Panthers in the fifth round (166th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft and has played in 47 games (five starts) for the Panthers (2021-22), Chiefs (2023-24) and Falcons (2025).

Separation a concern amidst Jaguars' growth at wide receiver (Action Sports Jax)

According to GPS tracking data provided by the NFL's Next Gen Stats, the Jaguars ranked 29th with an average targeted separation of just 3.2 yards. Truthfully, even that is a bit overscored as none of the Jaguars starting receivers averaged more than 2.7 yards.

Under-the-radar NFL free agents (CBS Sports)

Yes, Gardeck is very much a part-time player, but when that time comes, he is a relentless pass rusher with a fun mix of speed and spin moves. He had three sacks in just seven games in 2024 and six sacks in 2023 (when he had an 18.3% pressure rate). He's 31, but there's not a ton of tread on the tires, and in his role, he brings a ton of value. Some team is going to be very happy it added this high-effort player.

1 Trade We'd Like to See for Every NFL Team (Bleacher Report)

The Jaguars were 18th in pressure percentage last season and 27th in sacks. That sack ranking would have been even worse without Arik Armstead posting 5.5 sacks ... Trading for Gervon Dexter Sr. could give them a long-term replacement for Armstead and upgrade the unit as a whole.

Making 32 Bold Predictions for the 2026 NFL Offseason (Sports Illustrated)

The Jaguars will trade Brian Thomas Jr. - While it would not seem likely given that Travis Hunter is, indeed, not changing football forever and will be relegated mostly to defense in 2026, Liam Coen needs wide receivers suited specifically for his system. Trevor Lawrence preferred Parker Washington in gotta-have-it situations a year ago and his specificity may lead him to exploring options that make up for the draft capital Jacksonville lost on the Hunter deal.

Ranking deepest, thinnest positions in NFL free agency, draft (ESPN)

It is a total rock star year at the linebacker position. Three huge names are entering the fray. Two are rookies from Ohio State: Sonny Styles and the previously mentioned Arvell Reese. One is a free agent out of Jacksonville: Devin Lloyd.

I'll start with just a dash of cold water. Lloyd is probably not a top-five linebacker in football; I'd say he's more LB10 or LB12. But he's almost certainly about to get paid like it. Last year was an enormous offseason for linebacker contracts, as four of the six biggest deals currently in the market were signed by Fred Warner, Zack Baun, Jamien Sherwood and Nick Bolton - and Lloyd comfortably outperformed the latter two last season. I'd argue he outplayed Baun, as well. Lloyd is going to clear $15 million per year, and at that price tag, I'd likely pass if I was a general manager. With that said, Lloyd is still an impactful player. He's great on blitzes and made a huge step forward in coverage last season.
