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

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Jaguars did exactly that with DeMonte Capehart in the 211th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wilson. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 48 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 79th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They let Roman Wilson come to them and pounced at the 96th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick No. 114 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at Round 4, Pick 16 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor in Round 5, Pick 19 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in No. 195; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A big swing on Dwight McGlothern at slot 237, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
