Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jaguars: B-.

The Jawhar Jordan selection is the head-turner. The Jaguars reached 29 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In the 17th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They went early on Zach Frazier in No. 48, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Value said wait; Tyler Davis in pick 96 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
No edge and no loss on Mekhi Wingo in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 117 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mason McCormick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 195 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They left a pile of value on the table to take Javontae Jean-Baptiste this early at No. 211. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in the 234th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
