Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Jaguars, and a B to prove it.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Jaguars did exactly that with DeMonte Capehart in slot 237.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Jordan falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 18 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 48 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in pick 79. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They paid a round early for Tyler Davis in Round 3, Pick 16, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 96th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the 114th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in pick 116 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylin Simpson in the 155th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at Round 6, Pick 20 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan is a better player than pick No. 211 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in slot 237 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
