Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Jaguars checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Jaguars took DeMonte Capehart a full 54 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Beebe pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the 27th overall pick they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 48 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick50 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They did well to land Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They went early on Sedrick Van Pran in slot 79, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They will replay Cooper Beebe at No. 96 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in Round 4, Pick 14 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at Round 5, Pick 1 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in No. 155. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at the 195th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the 211th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They jumped the gun on Dwight McGlothern, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
