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

The DeMonte Capehart pick is the one that will follow the Jaguars into the fall. They took him 38 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
A straight-up fair deal on Terrion Arnold at No. 17, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at slot 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They went early on Sedrick Van Pran in pick 79, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Khyree Jackson a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
A real head-scratcher, James Williams in Round 4, Pick 16 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid a round early for Kitan Oladapo in Round 5, Pick 19, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
No drama and no debate, De'Corian Clark went about where he belonged in the 195th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in slot 237 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
