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

The Jaguars put a flag in the ground for DeMonte Capehart, 54 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Simpson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick No. 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
No edge and no loss on Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They paid sticker price for Ja'Tavion Sanders in slot 56, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at the 79th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick 114 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in pick No. 116 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Value with a capital V on Jaylin Simpson in the 155th pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They did well to land Christian Jones in Round 6, Pick 20, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeMonte Capehart well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A premium they did not need to pay, Dwight McGlothern a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
