Draft Grade — Jaguars

ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars robbed the room for Rouse. Final grade: B-.

The Jaguars spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Walter Rouse, the No. 163 name on the board, in Round 6, Pick 37.

They will need Smith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The back end got a real overhaul.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 17th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Good price on Keon Coleman in Round 2, Pick 16, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
A real head-scratcher, Mohamed Kamara in No. 96 is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick114 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Taking Dominick Puni in pick 114 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tykee Smith this early at the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jarrian Jones at the 153rd overall pick is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in slot 212 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Bub Means
A reach on Bub Means in pick No. 236; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
