Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Jaguars.

The Jaguars torched the value chart for Carson Steele, taking him 83 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 T'Vondre Sweat
In No. 22 they get a disruptive interior force, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They paid sticker price for Cooper Beebe in the 54th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the Round 3 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cam Hart
They paid up for Cam Hart at slot 96 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in Round 4, Pick 13 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
The board had cheaper options than Beaux Limmer at pick No. 122, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at the 159th pick, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick200 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
By-the-book stuff, Oronde Gadsden II at Round 6, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Carson Steele
They reached a country mile for Carson Steele at pick No. 211, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at No. 243 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
