Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureA
Larceny in No. 142 lands the Jaguars a A-, Bond and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Isaiah Bond, the No. 75 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 142.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Harris has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Josh Simmons at the 33rd pick is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They did well to land Emeka Egbuka in No. 36, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Value with a capital V on Jayden Higgins in the 67th overall pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at slot 70 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at Round 3, Pick 24 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard in pick 107 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ozzy Trapilo reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 Isaiah Bond
Circle this one: Isaiah Bond at pick No. 142 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
No drama and no debate, Vernon Broughton went about where he belonged in the 182nd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Mello Dotson
Somehow Mello Dotson was still sitting there in the 194th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
