Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Ransom should have been long gone. The Jaguars pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Lathan Ransom got past him. The Jaguars do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In No. 5 they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at pick 36 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at the 70th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 88th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at slot 105 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 124 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick180 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
They barely believed it either: Lathan Ransom still on the board at Round 6, Pick 5. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in the 192nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221 Rnd7 Addison West
The board fumbled Addison West all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
