Jaguars Draft Texas A&M Defensive Tackle Albert Regis at No. 81

The third-round pick fills a short-term run-defense need in Jacksonville.

Overview

  • Albert Regis, whom Jacksonville drafted 81st overall on Friday, is a Texas A&M defensive tackle who ran a 4.88-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.
  • He is expected to bolster a thin interior rotation now and could be a future nose tackle with DaVon Hamilton entering the final year of his deal.
  • Scouting reports describe a low, leverage-based run defender who tied for 10th in Pro Football Focus' run-stop rate last season but offers limited pass-rush production.
  • USA Today, Yahoo Sports, and CBS Sports each graded the pick a C-plus, pointing to reliable run defense without clear interior pass-rush upside.
  • Texas A&M moved to cover his exit by adding transfer CJ Mims and commit Angelo McCullom, with DJ Hicks expected to return on the defensive line.
