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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Samson Okunlola tumbling to the Jaguars in slot 88 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Reaching for Prongos left real value on the table behind him. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Bryant Wesco Jr.
They took Bryant Wesco Jr. at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jelani McDonald
Jelani McDonald at Round 3, Pick 17 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Samson Okunlola
Samson Okunlola in pick 88 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
They jumped the gun on Sam Leavitt, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 John Curry
They paid up for John Curry at the 124th pick when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Payton Pierce
A premium they did not need to pay, Payton Pierce a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick164 Rnd5 Niki Prongos
They talked themselves into Niki Prongos at the 164th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Mario Landino
By-the-book stuff, Mario Landino at slot 233 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Smith Snowden
Smith Snowden at No. 245 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
