Jaguars depth chart: How Jacksonville's roster shapes up ahead of 2024 NFL Draft
When the Jacksonville Jaguars head into the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday, the team will do so with a ready-made roster for the start of the season.
Much of this year's offseason was about filling key holes that appeared on the roster and backloading the team with talent so they can enter the draft with as few glaring holes as possible.
Though Jacksonville has plenty of work to do, the majority of the team's roster is in good shape and ready to take on the AFC South, as the team did in 2022 when they won the division after a fantastic finish to the regular season.
