Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 211: the Jaguars steal Baker and grade out a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Jaguars were there to profit. Javon Baker, the No. 178 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 211. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while quarterback and running back went begging. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Reaching for Williams left real value on the table behind him. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick 48 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick66 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul is a better player than the 66th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves quarterback and running back untouched.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They robbed the room for Cooper Beebe here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in No. 114 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in slot 116 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cedric Gray in pick No. 133. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 155, where Jaylin Simpson graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the 188th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at No. 195 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211 Rnd6 Javon Baker
The board fumbled Javon Baker all the way to pick 211, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in the 237th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
