Jaguars Won't Host NFL Draft Prospects on Official Visits

The Jacksonville Jaguars are opting out of official pre-draft visits this year, following in the footsteps of the Los Angeles Rams to preserve their scouting evaluations.

According to ESPN, general manager James Gladstone and offensive coordinator Liam Coen did not attend the NFL combine. The decision to skip top 30 visits is strategic; the organization prefers not to have their opinion on a player altered by a brief 15-20 minute meeting.

Gladstone values the years-long scouting process and trusts the team's established methods over in-person interactions during the draft cycle.
