Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Jaguars did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Brian Ugwu at pick No. 237, a reach of 54 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Trotter Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They read the board right and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 79. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick80 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick 96 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the 114th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at pick No. 116, and the board did not agree. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick 155 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
They did well to land Bru McCoy in No. 195, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A slide stopped in slot 211, with Jase McClellan worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brian Ugwu this early at the 237th pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
