Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Jaguars lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The tape said wait; the Jaguars did not. Wesley Williams went at the Round 7 slot, a good 70 picks before the board was ready.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Fields pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
They went early on Akheem Mesidor in pick 23, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in the 56th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Markel Bell
A conviction pick on Markel Bell at pick No. 88 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Circle this one: Malachi Fields at Round 3, Pick 36 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Value with a capital V on Bishop Fitzgerald in the 124th overall pick, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
They took Bryce Boettcher at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
They read the board right and Nate Boerkircher was the payoff at pick 164. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 233 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245 Rnd7 Wesley Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Wesley Williams well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
