Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Corley should have been long gone. The Jaguars pounced, and earned a B-.

Call it larceny. Malachi Corley sat on the board until the 96th overall pick, and the Jaguars did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Franklin reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In No. 17 they get a load in the middle. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Fair-plus on Kris Jenkins, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick79 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A quiet steal in pick 79: Junior Colson for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick96 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Somehow Malachi Corley was still sitting there in slot 96, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at Round 4, Pick 15 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in pick No. 117 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
The board had cheaper options than Khristian Boyd at the Round 5 slot, and it noticed. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
They took Aki Ogunbiyi at par in the 195th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. at pick No. 211 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
A reach on Zakhari Franklin in slot 234; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
