Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jaguars: B-.

The Jaguars clearly saw something nobody else did in Eric Singleton Jr., taking him 45 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Robinson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Ahmad Hardy
In the 22nd overall pick they get a three-down runner, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Bear Alexander
A conviction pick on Bear Alexander at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86 Rnd3 Anthonie Knapp
A reach on Anthonie Knapp in No. 86; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jackson Bennee
Jackson Bennee in pick No. 124 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kam Robinson
Kam Robinson slipping to slot 159 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172 Rnd5 Eric Singleton Jr.
A wild overpay on Eric Singleton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 35, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
