Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Jaguars: B-.

The war room fell hard for DeMonte Capehart, and it showed at the 237th pick: 38 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They paid up for Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 35 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick 96 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 97th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in slot 114 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Jarrian Jones at pick No. 116, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in No. 155, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They liked Jared Wiley enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 195. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at the 211th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in Round 7, Pick 17 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
