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

Some picks age like wine; Jaylen Harrell at the 155th overall pick will need to, sitting 61 spots clear of his grade.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wright. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In pick 17 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with Ennis Rakestraw Jr. worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at Round 3, Pick 15 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 96th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the 114th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in slot 116 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at pick 155 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylen Wright
Taking Jaylen Wright in the 195th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
No drama and no debate, Brevyn Spann-Ford went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 17. The roster fit checks out.
