Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Jaguars this weekend: B+.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Jaguars took Jayson Jones at pick 237, roughly 49 spots before his name belonged. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. However the rest shakes out, Hart at that price is a win they earned. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Adding Jalen Thompson by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 26 they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They robbed the room for Xavier Legette here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A wild overpay on Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 7, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick No. 79 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They liked Dominick Puni enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 89. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Drake Nugent
They reached into another round for Drake Nugent, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at Round 4, Pick 16 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick No. 155 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Michael Barrett in No. 195. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 211 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
Jayson Jones at the 237th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
