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

There is reaching, and then there is Drake Nugent at No. 114. The Jaguars jumped the board by 34 and dared it to prove them wrong.

With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Barrett that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick No. 17 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They went early on T'Vondre Sweat in pick 48, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at Round 3, Pick 15 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at No. 96 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
They reached a country mile for Drake Nugent at slot 114, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Darius Robinson adds an edge rusher and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at the 155th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
They let Michael Barrett come to them and pounced at pick 195. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing De'Corian Clark in pick No. 211. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 237th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
