Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Jaguars for Webb: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Clay Webb had no business being available in slot 177, and the Jaguars did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The Sanders reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick 17 they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the 49th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Raheim Sanders
A wild overpay on Raheim Sanders in pick No. 81, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They talked themselves into Andrew Mukuba at Round 4, Pick 17, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
They liked T.J. Sanders enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 145. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick177 Rnd6 Clay Webb
Somehow Clay Webb was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick209 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Batty at slot 209 squarely in line with his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
