Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jaguars worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Jaguars reached some 47 spots for Jayson Jones, and value like that does not grow back.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. However the rest shakes out, Mims at that price is a win they earned.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Jaguars indulged a want in Robinson while a need in quarterback and running back stayed open.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 23rd overall pick they get a problem off the edge. More want than need.
Pick50 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Taking Amarius Mims in pick 50 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick58 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
By-the-book stuff, Zach Frazier at No. 58 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in slot 79 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in pick No. 96. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Darius Robinson in the 114th pick leaves quarterback and running back for later.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 116th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They jumped the gun on Cam Hart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Fair-plus on Kamal Hadden, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at slot 155 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick156 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Justin Rogers. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick178 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Barrett at pick No. 178, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in No. 195 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They read the board right and De'Corian Clark was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They reached into another round for DeMonte Capehart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
Jayson Jones at the 239th pick 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.
