Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jaguars: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on DeMonte Capehart; the Jaguars did not wait, grabbing him 63 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 17. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

However the rest shakes out, Rice at that price is a win they earned. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 17th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick79 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A reach for Sedrick Van Pran in slot 79; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in the 96th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in No. 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick116 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They went early on Donovan Jackson in pick 116, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 James Williams
Circle this one: James Williams at the 155th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
A quiet steal in No. 195: Andru Phillips for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wiley. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
A big swing on DeMonte Capehart at the 237th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
