Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall
C+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Jaguars cashed the board's mistake on Shough: C+. Call it larceny. Tyler Shough sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the Jaguars did not need to be asked twice. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.
The Cross III reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
If T.J. Sanders and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
A reach for T.J. Sanders in slot 35; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick36
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
A tidy bit of business in No. 36, where Malaki Starks graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in the 70th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at Round 3, Pick 24 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jordan James
Jordan James at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105
Rnd4
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in pick No. 105 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick107
Rnd4
Charles Grant
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Charles Grant at the 107th pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick 117 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126
Rnd4
James Burnip
A wild overpay on James Burnip in No. 126, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper in slot 142 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154
Rnd5
Ben Sauls
Ben Sauls in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick167
Rnd5
Howard Cross III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Howard Cross III in the 167th overall pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 6: Ollie Gordon II for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189
Rnd6
Tyler Shough
Circle this one: Tyler Shough at the 189th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194
Rnd6
Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at pick No. 194 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in pick 221 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
