Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall A
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Jaguars worked the phones like thieves and earned a A.

The Jaguars ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Jackson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The veteran additions, Mike Hughes chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Bottom line, with Walter Nolen leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
They jumped the gun on Xavier Restrepo, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick70 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They paid a round early for Donovan Jackson in No. 70, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the 88th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
