Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Jaguars, and a C- to match.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jacobe Covington; the Jaguars did not wait, grabbing him 315 spots ahead at pick 36. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C-.

Landing Paul Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

So much rides on Deone Walker that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In No. 5 they get a wrecking ball inside, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jacobe Covington
Jacobe Covington at Round 2, Pick 4 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Xzavier Henderson
They reached a country mile for Xzavier Henderson at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Charles Grant. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bhayshul Tuten this early at slot 126. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
Value said wait; Ben Sauls in the 142nd pick says they were not listening. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick182 Rnd6 Robbie Ouzts
They talked themselves into Robbie Ouzts at No. 182, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Akili Arnold
They reached into another round for Akili Arnold, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221 Rnd7 Rayuan Lane III
Rayuan Lane III at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
