Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars let Pearce Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Jaguars were there to profit. James Pearce Jr., the No. 12 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 36. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The Jackson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. On the needs board they went 3 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

The back end got a real overhaul.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick No. 5 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
You do not let an edge rusher like James Pearce Jr. reach the 36th pick and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick67 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba is a better player than slot 92 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
