Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jaguars fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Some picks age like wine; Jason Henderson at slot 219 will need to, sitting 165 spots clear of his grade.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with cornerback and safety open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They banked enough surplus on McAlister to cover a lot of smaller sins.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Akheem Mesidor. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the 58th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in slot 81 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
They paid sticker price for Ja'Kobi Lane in No. 88, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nothing to complain about; Nicholas Singleton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
No drama and no debate, Billy Schrauth went about where he belonged in the 124th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick127 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the 127th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 4 slot on Nadame Tucker with cornerback and safety unsolved.
Pick162 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost at No. 162 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 26: Jude Bowry for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at pick No. 168 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister is a better player than slot 207 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jason Henderson this early at pick 219. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick220 Rnd7 Joe Fagnano
A real head-scratcher, Joe Fagnano in the 220th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
No edge and no loss on Aiden Fisher in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
A conviction pick on Nolan Rucci at No. 241 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly at pick 245 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Aidan Hubbard
Value said wait; Aidan Hubbard in the 246th pick says they were not listening. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick247 Rnd7 Deven Eastern
Deven Eastern in pick No. 247 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton slipping to slot 251 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Owen Heinecke
Owen Heinecke in Round 7, Pick 39 is fair value, right on his grade. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
