  "account": "Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season is approaching, and power rankings for the Jacksonville Jaguars have been released. The Jaguars, who have faced criticism for losing key players Travis Etienne and Devin Lloyd, are ranked by various analysts. Nate Davis of USA Today has the Jaguars at #14, up one spot from last year, due to the strong performance of rookie cornerbacks. Nick Shook of NFL.com ranks them at #9, but expresses concern over the team's offensive line, which includes a rookie tackle and a third-round rookie guard. Pete Prisco of CBS Sports places the Jaguars at #3, up two spots, and believes the team can be a better unit than last year's 13-win season. Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports also ranks them at #12, but sees a lot of uncertainty in the receiving corps and running game. Mike Florio of NBC Sports ranks the Jaguars at #9, optimistic about the future of the team under coach Liam Coen. Chad Graff and Josh Kendall of The Athletic rank the Jaguars at #13, seeing potential for a bounce-back season despite the departure of Travis Hunter. Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report ranks the Jaguars at #7, praising the team's strong performance in the second half of the 2025 season and the return of key players. Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus ranks them at #14, highlighting the team's strong defense and growth of quarterback Trevor Lawrence.",
