Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall A
ValueA NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Jaguars robbed the room for Stutsman. Final grade: A.

You could see the war room lean forward. Danny Stutsman at pick 196 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A to show for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Sawyer pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

In the end it comes back to Ashton Jeanty, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach pick 35 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
Somehow James Pearce Jr. was still sitting there in the 40th pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 66th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots to take Jack Sawyer, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They will replay Jihaad Campbell at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick102 Rnd4 Mykel Williams
A want over a need in No. 102: Mykel Williams adds an edge rusher while wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick129 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Circle this one: Malachi Moore at slot 129 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Steal is underselling it; Deontae Lawson at pick No. 141 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 178th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Danny Stutsman
The board fumbled Danny Stutsman all the way to the 196th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 Elijah Roberts
They robbed the room for Elijah Roberts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
