Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Jaguars turned the phones into found money: B.

The Jaguars ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Van Pran pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. With linebacker and quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 18 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick 66 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 71 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They took Christian Mahogany at par in the 79th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A want over a need in No. 80: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while linebacker and quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Davis at Round 3, Pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
A wild overpay on James Williams in the 116th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
The board had cheaper options than Kitan Oladapo at the 155th overall pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They liked Jared Wiley enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
They paid sticker price for Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 211, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at No. 225 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Value said wait; Dwight McGlothern in the 237th pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
