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

You build a draft on nights like this. Mason McCormick had no business being available in No. 165, and the Jaguars did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Wilson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 26 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell is a better player than pick 40 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Nothing to complain about; Kris Jenkins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They liked Johnny Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 114th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
A straight-up fair deal on Jalyx Hunt at the 153rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick165 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at Round 5, Pick 29 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They paid a round early for Gabe Hall in slot 212, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Bub Means
A premium they did not need to pay, Bub Means a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
