Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars let Harden fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Myles Harden tumbling to the Jaguars in pick No. 236 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Jaguars indulged a want in Solomon while a need in safety, linebacker and other spots stayed open. They are betting Zinter proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in pick No. 17 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Fair-plus on Keon Coleman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Maason Smith in Round 4, Pick 14. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at safety, linebacker and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick153 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A clean, defensible pick in the 153rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Luke McCaffrey. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
A quiet steal in slot 212: Julian Pearl for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Myles Harden in the 236th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
