Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars robbed the room for Thrash. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jamari Thrash at Round 5, Pick 29 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. The bottom line is a respectable B.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Stogner to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 28 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at pick 60 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Michael Hall Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Troy Fautanu
Fair-plus on Troy Fautanu, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A reasonable price with a little left over, Beau Brade in No. 128. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
They barely believed it either: Jamari Thrash still on the board at the 165th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A reach on Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 31; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jordan Whittington
Value with a capital V on Jordan Whittington in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick249 Rnd7 Austin Stogner
Value said wait; Austin Stogner in slot 249 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
