Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jaguars: B-.

The Jaguars clearly saw something nobody else did in Josh Proctor, taking him 43 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Landing King that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 17th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at No. 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Maason Smith
No drama and no debate, Maason Smith went about where he belonged in the 96th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Matt Goncalves at pick 114 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in pick No. 116 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Josh Proctor this early at Round 5, Pick 17. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kalen King
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 212 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Jacob Monk
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 236, where Jacob Monk graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
