Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Jaguars this weekend: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Jaguars fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson. The Keegan reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 17 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
By-the-book stuff, Braden Fiske at pick No. 49 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 3, Pick 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in slot 114 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
A big swing on Trevor Keegan at the 116th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
A reach on Xavier Thomas in the 153rd overall pick; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Cornelius Johnson reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at pick 236 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
