Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jaguars: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Jaguars spent slot 244 on Justin Eboigbe, a name the board had a full 28 spots lower. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Spending an early pick on edge rusher with wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Eichenberg at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 23 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. More want than need.
Pick55 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Chris Braswell at edge rusher with wide receiver, offensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
A tidy bit of business in No. 87, where Caelen Carson graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the 96th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Hart
The board had Cam Hart higher than Round 4, Pick 13, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 4 slot is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at No. 160 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jasheen Davis. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jaylon Carlies
They went early on Jaylon Carlies in Round 6, Pick 36, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the 244th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
