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

The Jaguars clearly saw something nobody else did in DeMonte Capehart, taking him 38 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 17 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A conviction pick on T'Vondre Sweat at pick 48 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in the 79th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at No. 96, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at pick No. 114 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in the 116th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They jumped the gun on Kitan Oladapo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in No. 195. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
No edge and no loss on Jawhar Jordan in pick 211; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
