Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jaguars: B-.

The Jaguars bet big and early on Drake Nugent, 36 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They banked enough surplus on Cypress II to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 17 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value.
Pick48 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in No. 48 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at Round 3, Pick 15 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Davis at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick114 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They did well to land Dominick Puni in pick No. 114, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
A big swing on Drake Nugent at the 116th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
They liked Kitan Oladapo enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Christian Jones. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
They took Jonah Monheim at par in the 211th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in pick No. 237 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
