Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Jaguars, and a B- to prove it.

The James Williams Sr. selection is the head-turner. The Jaguars reached 32 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

On value alone, Daniels makes the weekend a net positive. On the needs board they went 9 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Will Lee III
Will Lee III in the 57th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90 Rnd3 C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Michael Taaffe in the 92nd pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at slot 100 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
They let Monroe Freeling come to them and pounced at pick 119. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Aaron Anderson
A reach for Aaron Anderson in No. 125; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darius Taylor in pick No. 165. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
They went early on Bryce Foster in the 206th overall pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jalon Daniels
Somehow Jalon Daniels was still sitting there in pick 236, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 James Williams Sr.
A real head-scratcher, James Williams Sr. in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
Taking Desmond Reid in Round 7, Pick 28 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
The board fumbled Kevin Jennings all the way to the 250th pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
