Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jaguars: B.

The Joshua Cephus pick is the one that will follow the Jaguars into the fall. They took him 19 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. James at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
They took Adonai Mitchell at par in No. 33, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Guyton in the 48th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
No edge and no loss on T'Vondre Sweat in pick 54; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 D.J. James
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 15, with D.J. James worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They liked Khyree Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 96th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick101 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
The board had cheaper options than Leonard Taylor III at slot 101, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick 114 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
No drama and no debate, Kitan Oladapo went about where he belonged in the 155th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at pick No. 195 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at No. 211 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
A reach on Xavier Thomas in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
