The Jacksonville Jaguars are eyeing an early Day 2 linebacker selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to ESPN analyst Ben Solak. Despite little attention on the linebacker unit this offseason, it's crucial for the Jaguars to bolster this position as Foyesade Oluokun approaches his 30th birthday and Devin Lloyd is entering the final year of his rookie deal. Solak suggests targeting UCLA's Carson Schwesinger, a high-ceiling coverage linebacker who can step in as a replacement for Lloyd in the future.

Adding a player like Schwesinger would not only provide depth but also signal the Jaguars' commitment to a long-term strategy for the linebacker position. With 10 draft picks at their disposal, the Jaguars can afford to address this less urgent need early on while keeping higher priority requirements in mind for later picks. Schwesinger's skill set could enable him to make a significant impact as early as 2025.
