Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureC
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jaguars and Smith: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Brashard Smith slide, and the Jaguars were the ones holding the card at slot 193. Highway robbery. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Nash pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered. The dealing was even money, start to finish.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 5 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at Round 2, Pick 4. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A tidy little value on Denzel Burke in pick No. 70, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Taking Jalen Royals in slot 88 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the 124th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in pick 141 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at the 180th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 Addison West
They paid sticker price for Addison West in slot 192, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
They robbed the room for Brashard Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221 Rnd7 Anthony Belton
Value said wait; Anthony Belton in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 17: Jake Briningstool for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah at No. 240 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
