Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Jaguars let Barron fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

When a board-topper like Jahdae Barron slides to the 195th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Jaguars did not.

Reaching for Van Pran left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Robinson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and running back.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 17 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Need was not the driver here.
Pick66 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat in No. 66 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Value said wait; Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 79; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Nice patience on Johnny Wilson, who had no business lasting to pick 96. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 14, with Zak Zinter worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Darius Robinson at edge rusher with quarterback and running back open.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Cam Hart slid further than he should have, and the 155th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at the 195th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in Round 6, Pick 36, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick227 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They paid up for Brevyn Spann-Ford at No. 227 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
