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

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Jaguars walked out of the weekend still thin at offensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

That Nolen pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will need Howard to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 14 they get a difference-maker at receiver, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They read the board right and Walter Nolen was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick53 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Value with a capital V on Xavier Watts in the 53rd pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They liked Andrew Mukuba enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 70. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Will Howard
A reach on Will Howard in pick 85; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deone Walker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A conviction pick on Denzel Burke at Round 4, Pick 5 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the 126th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cody Simon
A slide stopped in slot 142, with Cody Simon worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
The board had DJ Giddens higher than pick No. 182, and the running back fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
No drama and no debate, Jarquez Hunter went about where he belonged in No. 191. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
No edge and no loss on Oronde Gadsden II in the 194th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in pick 221 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
