JACKSONVILLE – The popular projections remain popular.
And when it comes to the 2025 NFL Draft, analysts expect defense to be particularly popular for the Jaguars early.
This is the second jaguars.com 2025 mock draft tracker – with two defensive players from the University of Michigan for a second consecutive widely projected to be selected by the Jaguars No. 5 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The top 18 picks in the 2025 NFL Draft order were set following the conclusion of the regular season, with the remaining slots dependent on the upcoming postseason. The Jacksonville Jaguars hold the fifth overall selection.
Michigan cornerback Will Johnson was projected there by three of nine analysts in this week's tracker, including Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports.
"Will Johnson checks the boxes for a lockdown No. 1 cornerback," Trapasso wrote.
Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham was projected to the Jaguars at No. 5 overall by four analysts – including Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN.
"His tenacity and technical prowess combine to create a dominant, two-phase, all-downs interior lineman who will immediately complement Travon Walker," Johnstone wrote of Graham.
Two analysts projected Colorado cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter to the Jaguars at No. 5 overall, with Kyle Crabbs of the 33rd team writing that Hunter "has the ability to change the game on either side of the football."
Also projected to the Jaguars at No. 5 in this week's tracker: Louisiana State offensive tackle Will Hunter.
"Campbell is just a solid all-around blocker and offers a sturdy foundation to be their long-term starter," Vinny Iyer of the Sporting News wrote.
