Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Jaguars left offensive lineman untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Starks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 4 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 5th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malaki Starks in slot 36. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
No edge and no loss on Maxwell Hairston in Round 3, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Tez Johnson at the 88th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
