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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Jaguars spent slot 211 on DeMonte Capehart, a name the board had a full 64 spots lower. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 17th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A clean, defensible pick in slot 81 with a little surplus value in Cooper Beebe. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They paid sticker price for Tyler Davis in Round 3, Pick 33, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at No. 114, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: James Williams in pick 116, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Nothing to complain about; Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in No. 155 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at slot 194 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick 195 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at the 211th pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in Round 7, Pick 17 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
