With much of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2026 roster set after free agency and the NFL Draft, let’s predict what the starting offensive lineup will look like in Week 1.
We recently ran the same drill on defense.

Let’s take a closer look.
quarterback
Trevor Lawrence
There’s nothing mysterious here.
run back
Bashur Tuton and Chris Rodriguez
I’m going to cheat a little bit with this. In theory, there will be one starter, but my early guess is that these two split the workload in the backcourt. One week, Taten might have more goals, and then the next week, Rodriguez might.
wide receiver
Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Jacoby Meyers
Travis Hunter will also be considered, but those three will be at the top of the depth chart and be solid contributors.
tight end
Brenton Strange
The real competition will take place behind the scenes of Doctor Strange, with Quentin Morris and Nate Burkitcher vying for the snap. Tanner Koziol may also move Hunter Long off the roster.

offensive line
Cole Van Lanen/Ezra Cleveland/Robert Hainsey/Patrick Mekari/Anton Harrison
I do think Emmanuel Pregnon can push Mekari, especially in terms of playing time. But for now, I would choose Mekari’s experience as the differentiator. But I wouldn’t be surprised if pregnancy started in the first week.
