Draft Grade — Jaguars

FutureB-
The Jaguars let Belton fall and pounced. Final grade: B+. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jaguars watched Anthony Belton slide 32 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Will Johnson
They paid sticker price for Will Johnson in slot 5, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick36
Rnd2
Matthew Golden
Steal is underselling it; Matthew Golden at pick No. 36 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in Round 3, Pick 6 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick107
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
The board had Darius Alexander higher than the Round 4 slot, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nohl Williams. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in No. 142 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182
Rnd6
Quincy Riley
A reasonable price with a little left over, Quincy Riley in the 182nd pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick 194 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Hancock at the Round 7 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
