Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Jaguars spent Round 7, Pick 31 on Gabriel Rubio, a name most had 60 spots down the list. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

However the rest shakes out, Lew at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick63 Rnd2 Josiah Trotter
No drama and no debate, Josiah Trotter went about where he belonged in the 63rd overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick82 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in the 82nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They barely believed it either: Connor Lew still on the board at No. 88. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Eli Raridon
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eli Raridon well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick100 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zachariah Branch at pick 126. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They took DJ Campbell at par in No. 163, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at pick 165 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes at the 220th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamari Lyons this early at Round 7, Pick 17. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon at the 245th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Gabriel Rubio
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gabriel Rubio. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in slot 255 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
