JAGUARS SQUAD SHOW: Who MUST Step Up for the Jaguars in 2026? Key Players UNDER PRESSURE and Draft Targets

On this episode of the Locked On Jaguar Squad show, Mia O'Brien, Tony Wiggins, and Marques Ogden discuss which Jacksonville Jaguars players need to step up in 2026 in order to keep their roles or help the team reach its potential. The conversation focuses heavily on the offensive line, with Tony Wiggins emphasizing the importance of Wyatt Milum's development and Marcus Ogden adding that Patrick Mekari and the entire right side of the line need to become more physical, especially in the run game.

Linebacker play is also discussed, with names like Ventrell Miller and Jack Kiser mentioned as key players who will need to step up to fill the void left by Devin Lloyd. The wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is highlighted as another player who must improve his consistency and confidence to avoid being replaced.

The hosts also touch on draft strategy, mentioning that the Jaguars could target linebacker or edge rusher depth, and debate whether the team will trade up or down in the draft to address key needs. Several prospects and late-round options are discussed, with a focus on building competition and depth to keep the Jaguars competitive in the coming seasons.
