Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Jaguars for Wiggins: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Nate Wiggins at pick No. 59 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while quarterback went begging. If Wiley pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 17th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick59 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
They barely believed it either: Nate Wiggins still on the board at the 59th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
Circle this one: T'Vondre Sweat at Round 3, Pick 15 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 85, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher is a better player than pick 116 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Somehow Justin Eboigbe was still sitting there in No. 155, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick164 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Braelon Allen at No. 164. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A premium they did not need to pay, Jared Wiley a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. at pick 211 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Gabe Hall
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 17 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
