Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedA- TradesF FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Jaguars for Wilson: B-.

When a board-topper like Jared Wilson slides to the 143rd overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Jaguars did not.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They paid sticker price for Tyler Booker in pick 36, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They read the board right and Xavier Watts was the payoff at pick No. 58. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70 Rnd3 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at the 70th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the 88th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Nice patience on Savion Williams, who had no business lasting to slot 106. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Taking Tez Johnson in No. 125 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They barely believed it either: Jared Wilson still on the board at the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
