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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Jaguars took Cobee Bryant a full 45 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Loveland. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to pick No. 48, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick80 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 80 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
They took Shemar Turner at par in pick 105, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cobee Bryant well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A tidy little value on Jonah Monheim in the 144th pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in No. 176 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
They paid up for Kyren Lacy at slot 208 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
