Oscar Delp is a busy prospect this spring, reportedly visiting at least seven NFL teams ahead of the 2026 draft. The Georgia tight end reportedly met with Jacksonville Jaguars scouts at the combine on Feb. 26.

Jacksonville will make its first selection in this year's draft in the second round, with pick No. 56. The team owns 11 total picks, including four in the top 100.

Jaguars Roundtable is checking out a range of prospects in the Class of 2026 that might mesh with Jacksonville's current roster, coaching staff, and the team's X's and O's strategies.

Offensive position players will be a focal point for the Jags, and NFL draft analyst Jeremy Ballreich's prospect profiles will feature offensive linemen Isaiah World out of Oregon and Penn State's Drew Shelton as well as running back prospects Le'Veon Moss from Texas A&M, Mike Washington Jr. out of Arkansas, and Washington's Jonah Coleman.  The Jaguars could also consider adding depth at tight end with Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers and at receiver with Southern Cal's Ja'Kobi Lane.  

Defenders profiled in the series include elite linebackers the likes of Oklahoma's Kendal Daniels, Oregon's Bryce Boettcher, and Anthony Hill Jr. out of Texas, along with cornerbacks D'Angelo Ponds out of Indiana and Arizona State's Keith Abney, along with Cincinnati nose tackle Dontay Corleone.

Here we shine a light on Bulldogs tight end Oscar Delp.

The Cummings, Georgia, native arrived at University of Georgia as one of the most coveted tight end recruits in the country, and over the course of his career in Athens, he steadily evolved from a depth‑chart understudy into a reliable, multi‑tool weapon in one of college football’s most demanding offensive ecosystems.

Standing around 6‑foot-5 and hovering in the 245-pound range, Delp brings the modern tight-end prototype: long‑striding athleticism, natural hands, and enough functional strength to have survived in the trenches of the SEC.

But what makes him compelling as an NFL prospect is how seamlessly he blends receiving upside with competitive toughness.

Delp’s receiving profile is built on fluidity. He’s not a stiff linear mover -- he sinks, bends, and accelerates like a big slot receiver. Georgia frequently used him on crossers, seams, and play‑action leak concepts, and he consistently showed the ability to uncover late, adjust to off‑target throws, and win in stride. His catch radius is a legitimate asset; he extends naturally away from his frame and rarely lets the ball into his body.

While he’s not a pure mismatch nightmare in the Brock Bowers mold, Delp is the type of tight end who can quietly stack first downs, stress linebackers, and become a quarterback’s rhythm‑friendly safety valve.

As a blocker, Delp is competitive and assignment‑sound. He’s not a mauler, but he’s willing, technically improving, and capable of holding his own in split‑zone, sift, and perimeter‑reach situations.

Georgia’s offense demands versatility from its tight ends, and Delp answered that call -- lining up in‑line, flexed, in the slot, and occasionally as a backfield adjuster. His frame still has room for more functional mass, and NFL strength development should help him anchor more consistently against power.

The biggest selling point with Delp is his projection. He’s not a finished product, but he’s trending upward, and his skill set fits the modern NFL’s emphasis on movement tight ends who can create matchup advantages without sacrificing structural integrity in the run game. He’s a clean evaluator’s profile: high floor, ascending ceiling, and scheme‑friendly versatility.

Delp would give the Jaguars a long‑term complement and eventual succession plan at the position. His ability to operate as a move piece -- running crossers off play‑action, settling into soft zones, and creating easy throwing windows -- pairs perfectly with Trevor Lawrence’s timing‑based strengths. Delp’s reliability on intermediate routes would help stabilize the offense on early downs and in the red zone, where Jacksonville has often leaned on tight ends to dictate matchups.

In the run game, Delp’s versatility would allow the Jags' offense to maintain a full menu of 12‑personnel looks without tipping tendencies. He can align in‑line when needed, but he’s at his best as a motion‑capable chess piece who forces defenses to declare coverage and adjust leverage.

For a Jaguars team looking to surround Lawrence with steady, dependable weapons who can grow with their developing offense, Oscar Delp represents a strong cultural and schematic fit -- high‑IQ, ascending, and tailor‑made for a system that values tight ends as true multipliers.
