Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Jaguars.

The Jaguars treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 237 on Rondell Bothroyd a full 39 spots early.

Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In No. 17 they get protection for the quarterback. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter at pick 48 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 D.J. James
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and D.J. James at the 79th pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick101 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They barely believed it either: Johnny Wilson still on the board at the Round 4 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Value with a capital V on Blake Fisher in the 114th overall pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
Value said wait; Keith Randolph Jr. in pick No. 116 says they were not listening. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick155 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They took Joe Milton III at par in Round 5, Pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
They paid a round early for Kenny Logan Jr. in the 195th pick, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Somehow Christian Jones was still sitting there in pick 211, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237 Rnd7 Rondell Bothroyd
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Rondell Bothroyd well ahead of where he belonged. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
