Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jaguars and Porter: A.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Jaguars, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Porter. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end it comes back to Will Campbell, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick19 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 19 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Value with a capital V on Malaki Starks in pick 36, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy bit of business in the 53rd overall pick, where Jihaad Campbell graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Nothing to complain about; Deone Walker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 84th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins slid further than he should have, and pick 88 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick106 Rnd4 Darien Porter
Somehow Darien Porter was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 5, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 125 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
