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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jared Wiley at the 155th pick is 41 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

That Hartman pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 30th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid up for T'Vondre Sweat at slot 48 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick No. 84 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
They paid a round early for Blake Fisher in Round 3, Pick 24, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 90 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in pick No. 93 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kris Abrams-Draine this early at the Round 3 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They paid sticker price for Audric Estime in the 97th overall pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114 Rnd4 James Williams
They jumped the gun on James Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
The board had cheaper options than Cedric Gray at the 116th pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
They reached into another round for Jared Wiley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Value with a capital V on Josh Proctor in pick 195, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Cephus well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at pick No. 237 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
