Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Jaguars: B-.

The Jaguars torched the value chart for Marcus Harris, taking him 26 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Hardy steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 17 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Brenden Rice
They reached into another round for Brenden Rice, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in slot 89; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jacob Cowing
They paid sticker price for Jacob Cowing in the 96th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at pick 115 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in the 117th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in the 127th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at Round 5, Pick 16 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
They read the board right and Josh Proctor was the payoff at pick No. 195. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Marcus Harris
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marcus Harris. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick234 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy is a better player than No. 234 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
