Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars cashed the board's mistake on Milton III: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Joe Milton III, the No. 200 name on the board, stolen at pick 236. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. If Kamara pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In the 17th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at pick No. 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at slot 96 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They robbed the room for Brenden Rice here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots to take Mohamed Kamara, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick153 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
No edge and no loss on Tyrone Tracy Jr. in pick 153; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
No drama and no debate, Zion Tupuola-Fetui went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 37. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Joe Milton III
You do not let a quarterback like Joe Milton III reach the 236th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
