Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars won the night they stopped Cowing from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jaguars watched Jacob Cowing slide 65 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with safety, linebacker and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick 17 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick No. 48 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 DJ James
They robbed the room for DJ James here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter slid further than he should have, and the 114th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in No. 116 leaves safety, linebacker and other spots for later.
Pick153 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Value with a capital V on Trevor Keegan in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Circle this one: Jacob Cowing at the 212th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
Somehow Cody Schrader was still sitting there in slot 236, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
