With the Jacksonville Jaguars’ roster for the 2026 season mostly set following free agency and the NFL draft, let’s project what the Week 1 starting offensive lineup could look like.
We recently went through this same exercise of the defensive side of the ball.
Let’s dive in.
Quarterback
Trevor Lawrence
No mystery here.
Running back
Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez
I’m going to cheat a bit with this one. On paper, there will be a starter, but my early guess is that these two share the workload out of the backfield. One week, Tuten may have more carries, and then the next week, Rodriguez might.
Wide receiver
Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers
Travis Hunter will be factored in as well, but these three will sit at the top of the depth chart and be the steady contributors.
Tight end
Brenton Strange
The real competition will be taking place behind Strange, with Quintin Morris and Nate Boerkircher competing for snaps. Tanner Koziol could also push Hunter Long off the roster.
Offensive line
Cole Van Lanen, Ezra Cleveland, Robert Hainsey, Patrick Mekari, Anton Harrison
I do think that Emmanuel Pregnon could push Mekari, specifically, for playing time. But for now, I’ll go with Mekari’s experience as the differentiator. But if Pregnon is starting Week 1, I won’t be surprised.
