Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Jaguars a B.

The Jaguars went off the board in a big way for Drake Nugent, 32 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Robinson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, linebacker and other spots. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
A quiet steal in pick No. 18: Laiatu Latu for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick48 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 16, with Byron Murphy II worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at the 79th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trey Benson at slot 80. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They liked Khyree Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 96. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Darius Robinson adds an edge rusher and leaves wide receiver, linebacker and other spots untouched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
A real head-scratcher, Drake Nugent in No. 116 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They paid a round early for Kitan Oladapo in pick 155, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 20. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Value said wait; Matthew Jones in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They reached into another round for Dwight McGlothern, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
