Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Jaguars, and a B- to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Jaguars spent pick No. 237 on DeMonte Capehart, a name the board had a full 38 spots lower. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wiggins. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick No. 17 they get a premier pass rusher. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins in the 48th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in Round 3, Pick 15, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Value said wait; Drake Nugent in the 114th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for James Williams. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in slot 155 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick No. 195 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in Round 6, Pick 36 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A real head-scratcher, DeMonte Capehart in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
