Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA+
Larceny in pick No. 126 lands the Jaguars a B, Mukuba and all.

The Jaguars did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Andrew Mukuba fell into No. 126.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 23 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons in Round 2, Pick 4 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in pick No. 54 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Azareye'h Thomas worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick88 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Harold Fannin Jr. in slot 88, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Fair-plus on Jared Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at the 126th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
