Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Johnson should have been long gone. The Jaguars pounced, and earned a D.

The Jaguars did not so much draft Kobe Hudson as overpay for him, 68 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 1st pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen in the 35th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
They barely believed it either: Malaki Starks still on the board at No. 66. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 67 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 92nd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in pick No. 102 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at the 103rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kaleb Johnson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kaleb Johnson in Round 5, Pick 3, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd6 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at slot 178 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in pick 196 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
No edge and no loss on Terrance Ferguson in No. 217; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
