Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 128 lands the Jaguars a B, Horton and all.

Call it larceny. Tory Horton sat on the board until slot 128, and the Jaguars did not need to be asked twice. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

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. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Martin has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In No. 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
A quiet steal in pick No. 60: Brandon Dorlus for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mohamed Kamara
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 28: Mohamed Kamara adds an edge rusher while interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick96 Rnd3 Max Melton
They paid sticker price for Max Melton in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 119th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 128th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Miyan Williams
No edge and no loss on Miyan Williams in pick 165; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Cam Hart
You do not let a cornerback like Cam Hart reach slot 206 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at Round 6, Pick 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Marshel Martin
A conviction pick on Marshel Martin at No. 249 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
