Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jaguars and Turner: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jaguars watched Dallas Turner slide 65 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They are betting Eguakun proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with safety, linebacker and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 17th pick they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 48 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Dallas Turner
Taking Dallas Turner in No. 79 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick96 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at safety, linebacker and other spots sat open.
Pick114 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
No edge and no loss on Leonard Taylor III in the 114th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Max Melton
A tidy little value on Max Melton in pick 116, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in pick No. 155 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun at Round 6, Pick 20 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in pick 211 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa is a better player than pick No. 237 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
