Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jaguars cashed the board's mistake on Williams: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Tyleik Williams at Round 3, Pick 9 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The cost of the Nesbit reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Ollie Gordon II
In pick 17 they get a featured back, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Andrew Mukuba
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Andrew Mukuba well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Somehow Tyleik Williams was still sitting there in slot 73, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
A premium they did not need to pay, Anthony Belton a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
A reach on Jason Marshall Jr. in the 81st pick; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
A quiet steal in No. 105: Nazir Stackhouse for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bryson Nesbit
Value said wait; Bryson Nesbit in Round 4, Pick 16 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They liked Cobee Bryant enough to skip the value, taking him in the 144th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd6 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at pick No. 176 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick208 Rnd7 Steve Linton
Steve Linton at slot 208 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
