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

Nobody else had DeMonte Capehart anywhere near the Round 6 slot. The Jaguars did, by 54 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. The Simpson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 17 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jackson Powers-Johnson in No. 48; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 33, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 114th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
A reach on James Williams in pick 116; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Nice patience on Jaylin Simpson, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 19. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
This one needs a full-page explanation: Matthew Jones in pick No. 195, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in No. 211 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
A big swing on Jayson Jones at the 237th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
