Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The tape said wait; the Jaguars did not. Drake Nugent went at slot 114, a good 34 picks before the board was ready. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
No drama and no debate, Byron Murphy II went about where he belonged in Round 1, Pick 17. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick48 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They went early on T'Vondre Sweat in No. 48, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 79 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in slot 96; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
They talked themselves into Drake Nugent at pick 114, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in slot 195, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
A straight-up fair deal on Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 211, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dwight McGlothern this early at the 237th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
