Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars robbed the room for Hart. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Jaguars were there to profit. Cam Hart, the No. 124 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 155. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They are betting Capehart proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
They paid sticker price for Taliese Fuaga in Round 1, Pick 17, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in No. 48 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 79 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A reach for Marshawn Kneeland in pick 96; a little patience would have been rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Fair-plus on Cooper Beebe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Junior Colson
No drama and no debate, Junior Colson went about where he belonged in the 116th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 DeWayne Carter
They paid a round early for DeWayne Carter in slot 195, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
Circle this one: De'Corian Clark at pick 211 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeMonte Capehart in Round 7, Pick 17, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
