Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B

Grand theft in Round 3, Pick 30: the Jaguars steal Johnson and grade out a B.

The board owed the Jaguars one, and it paid up: Kaleb Johnson, the No. 39 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 3 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 3 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at the 34th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Taking Tyler Booker in pick No. 70 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at No. 106 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 30 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 141st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at slot 178 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They will replay Ollie Gordon II at pick 193 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Somehow Elijah Arroyo was still sitting there in the 218th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. The roster fit checks out.
