Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Jaguars a B.

The Quincy Riley selection is the head-turner. The Jaguars reached 37 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They banked enough surplus on Ransaw to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at Round 1, Pick 17 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick30 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 30th overall pick they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick36 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Good price on Derrick Harmon in the 36th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks slipping to slot 44 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at No. 49 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick56 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
No edge and no loss on Jayden Higgins in the 57th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at pick 70 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Danny Stutsman in Round 3, Pick 27. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
They reached a country mile for Terrance Ferguson at slot 92, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick117 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Nothing to complain about; Anthony Belton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Value said wait; Quincy Riley in the 142nd overall pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They paid sticker price for O'Donnell Fortune in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at No. 182 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
The board had cheaper options than Isaac TeSlaa at the 221st overall pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Steal is underselling it; Caleb Ransaw at pick No. 225 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
