Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesD+ FutureA
The Jaguars checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Jaguars would have aced it. Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 126 is 57 spots clear of where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Kandra value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 17 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kenneth Grant in pick 36. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in slot 49 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Taking Trey Amos in No. 70 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in Round 3, Pick 24 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Somehow Deone Walker was still sitting there in the 107th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 119th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 4, Pick 24, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in slot 182 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
They will replay Jake Briningstool at pick 194 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
