Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars let Skattebo fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jaguars watched Cam Skattebo slide 31 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Hemingway has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In No. 5 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jayden Higgins. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick70 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at the 70th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Will Howard
They paid a round early for Will Howard in the 88th pick, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jared Wilson in the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach slot 126 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at pick No. 142 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at Round 6, Pick 6 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A slide stopped in pick No. 194, with Jack Nelson worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
A big swing on Tonka Hemingway at slot 230, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
