Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jaguars and Klein: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Marlin Klein, the No. 159 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 56 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the 83rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Malachi Lawrence
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Malachi Lawrence in the 88th pick, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Taking Jake Slaughter in pick 100 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
A safety of that caliber at slot 124 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kage Casey
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 26 with a little surplus value in Kage Casey. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
They will replay Charles Demmings at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein at pick No. 203 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at the 233rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Brandon Cleveland
Brandon Cleveland slid further than he should have, and No. 240 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jaydn Ott
A straight-up fair deal on Jaydn Ott at the 245th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
