Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureA
The Jaguars let Martinez fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The Jaguars did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Damien Martinez fell into the 182nd overall pick.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Mike Hilton deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In the end it comes back to Tyler Warren, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 17th overall pick they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in pick No. 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where T.J. Sanders graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cameron Williams. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter slipping to slot 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in pick 107 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A tidy little value on Anthony Belton in Round 4, Pick 17, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at No. 126 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
They barely believed it either: Damien Martinez still on the board at No. 182. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A straight-up fair deal on Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 194, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
They will replay Tahj Brooks at pick 221 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
