Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jaguars worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Jaguars bet big and early on Carson Steele, 50 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harris. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 24 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
No edge and no loss on Kris Jenkins in the 55th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in Round 3, Pick 24 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at pick 96, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at the 113th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Max Melton
They did well to land Max Melton in slot 123, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Fair-plus on Billy Bowman Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at the 201st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Austin Stogner in pick 211 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
