Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Jaguars won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

There is reaching, and then there is DeMonte Capehart at the 234th overall pick. The Jaguars jumped the board by 54 and dared it to prove them wrong. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Adding Jalen Ramsey by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They took Xavier Worthy at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick47 Rnd2 Graham Barton
No edge and no loss on Graham Barton in No. 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in the 48th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick No. 79 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 33, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 115th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for James Williams. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A reach on Kitan Oladapo in No. 152; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 195 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A reasonable price with a little left over, De'Corian Clark in the 211th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick234 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeMonte Capehart in the 234th overall pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
