Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The tape said wait; the Jaguars did not. Brian Ugwu went at No. 237, a good 54 picks before the board was ready. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Ali.

They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Good price on Rome Odunze in No. 17, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kris Jenkins. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 15: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in pick 96. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They paid sticker price for Donovan Jackson in pick No. 114, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at No. 155 squarely in line with his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick195 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in pick No. 195 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Nice patience on Rasheen Ali, who had no business lasting to pick 211. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
A real head-scratcher, Brian Ugwu in slot 237 is miles ahead of his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
