Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Jaguars spent pick 211 on Matthew Jones, a name the board had a full 22 spots lower. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Murphy II pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 17th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 48 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 15, with Byron Murphy II worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They paid up for Cooper Beebe at slot 96 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They went early on Cam Hart in the 114th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
The board had cheaper options than James Williams at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 155 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick195 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bru McCoy at Round 6, Pick 20. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Matthew Jones. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick 237. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
