NFL combine: List of wide receivers invited; what's need for Jaguars?
The NFL combine begins soon, running from Feb. 23 to March 2. To preview this important pre-draft event, we will be taking a position-by-position look at which prospects were invited and the level of need that the Jacksonville Jaguars have at each spot.
The NFL combine is held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and is an opportunity for the top NFL draft prospects in this year’s class to go through measurements and various on-field drills, some of which are specific to their position group, and others measure the player’s overall athleticism.

For NFL teams, this event is another data point for them as they build out their draft profiles and big boards. However, it’s a significant data point, with players potentially flying up and down draft boards depending on how they perform.
In addition to the on-field drills, teams also get the opportunity to meet with players one-on-one as well, which is another important part of the evaluation process as they get to know them both on and off the field.
Up next are the wide receivers.

What is the need at wide receiver for the Jaguars this offseason?
As you can see by the top four players under contract, the Jaguars are positioned very well at wide receiver — even if Travis Hunter takes on more of a “part-time” role on offense.

With that said, we can anticipate that James Gladstone will still add to this unit to bolster the depth and competition behind the top four players at this position.
With that said, whether it’s cap dollars or draft picks, I wouldn’t expect premium resources to be utilized at wide receiver either. Perhaps it’s a low-cost veteran addition in free agency or a mid to late-round pick in the draft.
