Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Jaguars a B-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Jaguars took Dwight McGlothern at the Round 7 slot, roughly 23 spots before his name belonged.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
They reached into another round for Mekhi Wingo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They went early on Sedrick Van Pran in No. 79, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick 96 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Hart
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cam Hart in the 119th pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
The board had cheaper options than Kitan Oladapo at No. 152, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
No drama and no debate, De'Corian Clark went about where he belonged in slot 195. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
They paid sticker price for Jawhar Jordan in pick 211, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
A big swing on Dwight McGlothern at the 234th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
