Jaguars Target Georgia DT Christen Miller in Draft

The Jaguars’ ideal 2026 draft pick is Georgia defensive tackle Christen Miller, who could boost their interior line and add pass‑rush capability.

The Jacksonville Jaguars need depth and competition on the interior defensive line, especially after a top‑ranked run defense last season. 2025 standout Christen Miller, a 6‑foot‑4, 310‑pound tackle from Georgia, offers elite run defense (90.2 PFF grade) and a strong pass‑rush win rate (11.3). Miller’s 1,031 defensive snaps over three years include 38 pressures and a sack, primarily in the B‑gap, making him a prime candidate to add pass‑rush presence to the unit.

Ranked fifth among defensive tackles on Mel Kiper’s board, Miller is projected to fall in the latter part of the first round. If the Jaguars can secure him, it would address their biggest need and enhance their interior line’s overall performance.
