Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
The Jaguars let Nelson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jack Nelson, Round 7, Pick 5, roughly 39 picks past where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 3 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value.
Pick70 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick 70 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zy Alexander. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard at Round 4, Pick 24 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Circle this one: Joshua Farmer at No. 142 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in slot 182 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value with a capital V on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 194th overall pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jack Nelson in pick 221, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
