Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jaguars won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Jaguars shredded theirs for Drake Nugent. He came off 36 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The veteran additions, Malik Hooker chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In the 26th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A tidy little value on T.J. Tampa in pick No. 56, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 92nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 96 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elijah Jones. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jalyx Hunt
They reached a country mile for Jalyx Hunt at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 153 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
A big swing on Drake Nugent at No. 174, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
They paid sticker price for Caedan Wallace in slot 212, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick236 Rnd7 KT Leveston
No edge and no loss on KT Leveston in the 236th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
