Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B

Sabb should have been long gone. The Jaguars pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Keon Sabb got past him. The Jaguars do not have to explain a thing at the 180th overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Reaching for Nash left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The back end got a real overhaul.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick No. 5 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 36th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 70th pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A quiet steal in No. 88: Jayden Higgins for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Danny Stutsman in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at pick 124 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Circle this one: Luke Kandra at Round 5, Pick 4 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick180 Rnd6 Keon Sabb
Steal is underselling it; Keon Sabb at slot 180 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at Round 6, Pick 17 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jonah Monheim
They read the board right and Jonah Monheim was the payoff at No. 221. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
