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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Jaguars spent slot 211 on DeMonte Capehart, a name the board had a full 64 spots lower.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 17 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at No. 79, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the 96th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at slot 114 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
They talked themselves into James Williams at the 116th pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the 155th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 195 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in Round 6, Pick 36 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They reached into another round for Dwight McGlothern, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
