Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueC NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jaguars turned the phones into found money: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Tyler Grubbs at the 240th pick, a reach of 179 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Slaughter.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick64 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick 64 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara in slot 81 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at the 91st pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacob Rodriguez well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Josh Moten
Josh Moten at Round 5, Pick 22 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander at the 185th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick191 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick194 Rnd6 Drayk Bowen
A premium they did not need to pay, Drayk Bowen a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick215 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Zuhn III. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at the 217th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at Round 7, Pick 3 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick228 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Nice patience on Luke Altmyer, who had no business lasting to pick No. 228. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
A tidy little value on Jerry Wilson in slot 233, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
They reached into another round for Jason Henderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tyler Grubbs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Grubbs. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in No. 241 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jack Velling
A conviction pick on Jack Velling at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Luke Hasz
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke Hasz in the 246th overall pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
