# John Shipley: Shipley expects rookie third-round guard Emmanuel Pregnon to start at left guard for the Jaguars in Week 1 against the Browns, with Ezra Cleveland moving to right guard and Anton Harrison shifting to left tackle. **Claimed:** Sep 8, 2026 **Pundit:** John Shipley — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/john-shipley **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/jaguars/onsi/jacksonville-why-all-eyes-will-be-on-emmanuel-pregnon-when-take-on-browns-in-week-1 4 checkable claims — 4 depth chart calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 5 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > As things stand today, it certainly feels like Pregnon is set to make his first-career start this Sunday. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Emmanuel Pregnon to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Emmanuel Pregnon, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Ezra Cleveland to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Ezra Cleveland, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Anton Harrison to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Anton Harrison, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet - **Robert Hainsey to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Robert Hainsey, Jacksonville Jaguars - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Emmanuel Pregnon — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/emmanuel-pregnon - Jacksonville Jaguars — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/jaguars - Ezra Cleveland — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/ezra-cleveland - Anton Harrison — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/anton-harrison - Robert Hainsey — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/robert-hainsey ## What others said about the same people - Keith Sanchez on Chris Bell: In his final 2026 NFL mock draft, Sanchez projects the full first round plus several second-round picks, starting with Fernando Mendoza going No. 1 overall to the Raiders. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/430b0c19-30ac-470f-9f96-0a7184ffcdf5 (scored 19.28) - Ayrton Ostley on Emmanuel Pregnon: Ausley walked through his final seven-round mock draft, having the 49ers take Utah offensive tackle Caleb Lomu at No. 27, Peter Woods to Houston at 28, TJ Parker to Kansas City at 29, Zion Young to the Chargers at 30, Arvel Reese to Arizona at 3, Dallas trading up to 8, Denver taking Mason Thomas at 58, the 49ers taking Malachi Lawrence at 62 and VJ Payne at 133. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/01ad8fa2-6e16-4d1a-9d0a-a088ab0b6ace (scored 10.98) - Bradley Locker on Emmanuel Pregnon: Locker's mock has the Bills trading back with Miami to pick 30, where they take Oregon guard Emmanuel Pregnon, while Miami moves up to 26 for edge rusher Akeem Messador and San Francisco takes KC Conception at 27. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/60111321-63eb-43a5-b7e6-9bf41a537362 (scored 8.11) - Nick Wright on Emmanuel Pregnon: Nick Wright presented his 'mock draft 1.0' for the 2026 NFL draft, naming players at picks 1 through 32, and predicted the Lakers could win a first-round playoff series if Luka returns by Game 3.
