The Jacksonville Jaguars' recent trade for Ruke Orhorhoro is expected to enhance their pass rush capabilities from the defensive tackle position, but it does not fundamentally alter their approach to the 2026 NFL Draft. Last season, the Jaguars struggled defensively, ranking 18th in pressure rate and 27th in sacks, with their interior pass rush declining towards the end of the year. Orhorhoro, who primarily played during passing downs, recorded 30 pressures and four sacks, ranking tied for 51st in Pro Football Focus's pass rush productivity metric among 121 defensive tackles. In contrast, Maason Smith, whom Orhorhoro replaced, ranked 97th with only 11 pressures and no sacks. Despite Orhorhoro's addition, the Jaguars still need a stronger presence and depth at defensive tackle, as their current roster includes Arik Armstead, DaVon Hamilton, Matt Dickerson, and Keivie Rose. With 11 total draft picks, including four in the top 100, General Manager James Gladstone has the flexibility to address this pressing need while allowing the draft board to guide his decisions.
