Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 23 lands the Jaguars a B-, Pearsall and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ricky Pearsall tumbling to the Jaguars in the 243rd pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Beebe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Cooper Beebe
In pick No. 22 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at the 54th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick86 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Davis at pick 96 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in No. 113, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 122nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Braden Fiske
They paid up for Braden Fiske at Round 5, Pick 23 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Value said wait; Bryce Foster in slot 200 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kaimon Rucker
A premium they did not need to pay, Kaimon Rucker a notch or two before his time. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Ricky Pearsall
Taking Ricky Pearsall in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
