Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedA- TradesC FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Jaguars, and a C+ to match.

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 Deantre Prince in slot 153.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Hit on Brian Thomas Jr. and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 23rd overall pick they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at No. 48 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jarrian Jones
They reached a country mile for Jarrian Jones at pick 96, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Javon Foster
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javon Foster in slot 114, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at Round 4, Pick 16 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick153 Rnd5 Deantre Prince
Deantre Prince in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
No drama and no debate, Jordan Jefferson went about where he belonged in slot 167. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Keilan Robinson
A big swing on Keilan Robinson at pick No. 177, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
They reached into another round for Joshua Cephus, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Aaron Casey
Aaron Casey at pick 236 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
