Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Jaguars: B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Jaguars walked out of the weekend still thin at interior defensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

Zinter at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will need Wilson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
By-the-book stuff, Taliese Fuaga at the 17th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 48 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Nothing to complain about; Gabriel Murphy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reach for Johnny Wilson in pick 114; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Nice patience on Zak Zinter, who had no business lasting to No. 116. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sione Vaki. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 6, Pick 37 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 236th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
