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

The Jaguars treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 234 on Myles Cole a full 45 spots early.

With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ford. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 20th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They took Jackson Powers-Johnson at par in No. 48, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the 84th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick115 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, running back and other spots to take Justin Eboigbe, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take James Williams this early at Round 4, Pick 17. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick152 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brandon Coleman in the 152nd overall pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford is a better player than slot 195 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A straight-up fair deal on Gabe Hall at pick No. 211, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Myles Cole
Value said wait; Myles Cole in the 234th pick says they were not listening. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
