Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The tape said wait; the Jaguars did not. Davison Igbinosun went at pick 129, a good 96 picks before the board was ready.

That Paul Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick 1 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick No. 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Value with a capital V on Dylan Fairchild in No. 66, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick92 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
No edge and no loss on Kevin Winston Jr. in the 92nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tommi Hill
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tommi Hill well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at Round 5, Pick 3 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick178 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at slot 178 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in pick 196 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
A big swing on Trey Wedig at No. 217, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
