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

The Jaguars' one glaring miss is linebacker, a need they left exactly as they found it.

They will need Taylor III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in the 36th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in Round 2, Pick 8 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick48 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
The board had cheaper options than T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at pick 79, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A premium they did not need to pay, Leonard Taylor III a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 James Williams
A reach on James Williams in the 114th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton in slot 116 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 155 with a little surplus value in Keith Randolph Jr.. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wiley. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
They paid sticker price for Jase McClellan in the 211th pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A reasonable price with a little left over, Joshua Cephus in No. 237. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
