Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jaguars: B.

The Trevor Keegan pick is the one that will follow the Jaguars into the fall. They took him 39 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bertrand.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 48th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
By-the-book stuff, McKinnley Jackson at Round 3, Pick 19 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A clean, defensible pick in pick 96 with a little surplus value in Bucky Irving. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at the 114th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick118 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in pick No. 118. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They paid sticker price for Jaylen Wright in pick 155, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in Round 6, Pick 16; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Myles Jones
They talked themselves into Myles Jones at slot 194, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at No. 195 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick211 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They took Joshua Cephus at par in the 237th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
