Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Jaguars spent the 143rd overall pick on Dayon Hayes, a name most had 162 spots down the list. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Mullings pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They paid sticker price for Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A clean, defensible pick in slot 70 with a little surplus value in Deone Walker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They jumped the gun on Savion Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dorian Strong this early at pick No. 106. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They robbed the room for Malachi Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dayon Hayes
A wild overpay on Dayon Hayes in the 143rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
Circle this one: Kalel Mullings at Round 6, Pick 6 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bryson Nesbit in slot 223, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
