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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Jaguars took Evan Anderson at Round 7, Pick 17, roughly 36 spots before his name belonged.

That Verse pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The Robinson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety, quarterback and other spots. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in pick No. 17 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jared Verse
The board fumbled Jared Verse all the way to slot 48, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 79th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Darius Robinson in No. 114 leaves safety, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick116 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at pick 116 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 155th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in the 195th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jordan Magee in pick No. 211, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Evan Anderson well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
