Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Jaguars.

The Jaguars spent real capital to be 33 picks early on RJ Oben, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Smith. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 36th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
The board had Alfred Collins higher than No. 70, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They let Gunnar Helm come to them and pounced at pick 99. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Tai Felton
A slide stopped in slot 107, with Tai Felton worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord is a better player than pick No. 126 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nohl Williams in slot 142. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in pick No. 154 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at No. 182 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194 Rnd6 RJ Oben
RJ Oben at the 194th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick221 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
