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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Jaguars spent slot 220 on DeMonte Capehart, a name most had 55 spots down the list. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They jumped the gun on Jackson Powers-Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in No. 48 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 57, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
No edge and no loss on Christian Mahogany in slot 79; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
They reached into another round for Darius Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick115 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at No. 115 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the 117th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in Round 4, Pick 26 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A reach on Kitan Oladapo in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in the 195th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
They took Jawhar Jordan at par in pick 211, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeMonte Capehart well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 234 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
