Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Jaguars a B-.

Some picks age like wine; DeMonte Capehart at slot 237 will need to, sitting 66 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Coleman value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 17 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Somehow Keon Coleman was still sitting there in pick No. 48, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Darius Robinson in pick 79 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick96 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They paid a round early for Dominick Puni in the 96th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 114th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at Round 4, Pick 16 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the 155th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trey Knox
A clean, defensible pick in No. 195 with a little surplus value in Trey Knox. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 211 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at Round 7, Pick 17 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
