Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 4 slot: the Jaguars steal Horton and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tory Horton got past him. The Jaguars do not have to explain a thing at No. 126. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Marshall Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
No edge and no loss on Ashton Jeanty in Round 1, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 36, where Nick Emmanwori graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Fair-plus on Donovan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A reasonable price with a little left over, Andrew Mukuba in No. 88. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Will Howard
Good price on Will Howard in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at the 126th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at slot 142 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Nothing to complain about; Ajani Cornelius went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at pick No. 194 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 5, with Luke Lachey worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
