Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Jaguars for Shough: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tyler Shough slide, and the Jaguars were the ones holding the card at pick No. 184. Highway robbery.

Reaching for Frazier left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 12th pick they get an island corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They let Nick Emmanwori come to them and pounced at No. 36. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at Round 3, Pick 6 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Good price on Mason Taylor in pick No. 88, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Fair-plus on Charles Grant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Somehow Joshua Farmer was still sitting there in the 143rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at pick 184 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in No. 190 with a little surplus value in Jason Marshall Jr.. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout slipping to the 196th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Clay Webb
They reached a country mile for Clay Webb at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
