Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars let Tampa fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. T.J. Tampa sat on the board until pick No. 91, and the Jaguars did not need to be asked twice.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. It is not that Tampa is a bad player; it is that the Jaguars had louder needs to answer first.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 28th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in slot 60 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
A want over a need in No. 91: T.J. Tampa adds a defensive back while interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tory Horton
Fair-plus on Tory Horton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 119th overall pick, where Antwane Wells Jr. graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
A straight-up fair deal on Beaux Limmer at Round 4, Pick 28, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick No. 165 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Tre Harris
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tre Harris in the Round 6 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick249 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in the 249th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
