Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars cashed the board's mistake on Mondon Jr.: B.

Call it larceny. Smael Mondon Jr. sat on the board until pick No. 180, and the Jaguars did not need to be asked twice.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 5 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Emeka Egbuka in slot 36. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They took Omarr Norman-Lott at par in No. 70, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A slide stopped in the 88th pick, with Malachi Moore worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 124th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
They robbed the room for Kevin Winston Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 180 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Seth McLaughlin. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson is a better player than the 221st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
