Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Jaguars: B-.

Every other box got a look, but running back did not. The Jaguars will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Williams lower, and that gap is the story. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In slot 17 they get a true top target, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in the 48th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Josh Newton
They paid sticker price for Josh Newton in pick 79, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
They paid a round early for Leonard Taylor III in pick No. 96, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A reach for Justin Eboigbe in No. 115; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick117 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at Round 4, Pick 17 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 152nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A reach on Gabe Hall in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick 211 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at the 234th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
