Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jaguars: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jay Higgins had no business being available in pick No. 221, and the Jaguars did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Reaching for Gadsden II left real value on the table behind him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 5th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nice patience on Nick Emmanwori, who had no business lasting to pick 36. It fills a real need, too.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Nothing to complain about; Deone Walker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jack Bech
You do not let a wide receiver like Jack Bech reach slot 88 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Somehow Denzel Burke was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 5, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Emery Jones Jr. at the 126th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick142 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Fair-plus on JJ Pegues, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at pick No. 221 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
