Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars kept it disciplined and banked a B.

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 DeMonte Capehart in the 237th overall pick.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Hart value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Good price on Byron Murphy II in the 48th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in slot 79, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 33, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They liked Darius Robinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 114th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
A big swing on Drake Nugent at pick No. 116, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart slid further than he should have, and No. 155 is lovely value for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in Round 6, Pick 20 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the 211th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at slot 237, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
