Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Jaguars did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Malachi Corley fell into No. 114. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Anderson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 17th pick they get a building block for the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They robbed the room for Troy Franklin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 D.J. James
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where D.J. James graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at slot 96, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick114 Rnd4 Malachi Corley
The board fumbled Malachi Corley all the way to No. 114, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Nice patience on Dominick Puni, who had no business lasting to pick No. 116. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 155 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett is a better player than Round 6, Pick 20 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at the 211th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Evan Anderson in the 237th pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
