Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Jaguars checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jared Wiley; the Jaguars did not wait, grabbing him 41 spots ahead at the Round 5 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Logan Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Troy Franklin
In the 28th pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Good price on Tyler Guyton in slot 48, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in pick 79, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the 84th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They did well to land Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 25, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach for Khyree Jackson in No. 96; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
They reached a country mile for Darius Robinson at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick99 Rnd3 Justin Eboigbe
A surprising call. With quarterback still to address, they spent No. 99 on Justin Eboigbe, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick114 Rnd4 James Williams
A conviction pick on James Williams at pick No. 114 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They went early on Tommy Eichenberg in the 116th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 128 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Value said wait; Jared Wiley in Round 5, Pick 19 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
A reach on Tanor Bortolini in pick 195; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. at the 211th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
The board had cheaper options than Joshua Cephus at pick No. 217, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in slot 237 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
