Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 162 lands the Jaguars a B-, Jackson Jr. and all.

The Jaguars spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Darrell Jackson Jr., the No. 92 name on the board, in Round 5, Pick 24. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Bell proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Markel Bell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Markel Bell well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
They reached a country mile for Bryce Lance at No. 81, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at the 88th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in pick 100 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
They paid sticker price for Jakobe Thomas in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Taking Darrell Jackson Jr. in Round 5, Pick 24 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
The board had cheaper options than Jaydn Ott at slot 164, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Dane Key
Dane Key in the 233rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer at the 245th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
