Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Jaguars.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Jaguars spent Round 2, Pick 16 on Xavier Legette, a name most had 25 spots down the list. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, Proctor makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a cornerstone up front, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Legette in the 48th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A premium they did not need to pay, Leonard Taylor III a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in slot 96 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Josh Newton
They liked Josh Newton enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 115. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They talked themselves into Christian Jones at pick 117, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in pick No. 152 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in the 195th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at slot 211 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick234 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They will replay Josh Proctor at No. 234 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
