Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Jaguars kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Jaguars did not so much draft Andrew Raym as overpay for him, 32 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with safety and quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They paid sticker price for Tyler Guyton in pick No. 35, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They did well to land Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at No. 66 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 79th pick on Maason Smith with safety and quarterback unsolved.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 90 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at slot 96 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick104 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They liked Kris Abrams-Draine enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 4. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in pick No. 114 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They paid up for Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Andrew Raym
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Raym well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wiley. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at slot 211 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A tidy little value on Joshua Cephus in the 237th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
