Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Jaguars robbed the room for White III. Final grade: B.

The Jaguars did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ricky White III fell into pick No. 246. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will need Evans to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 5 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A quiet steal in No. 56: Aireontae Ersery for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Royals. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They read the board right and Demetrius Knight Jr. was the payoff at slot 70. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in Round 3, Pick 24 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans at the 125th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick143 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
You do not let an offensive lineman like Hollin Pierce reach the 143rd pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184 Rnd6 Andres Borregales
They barely believed it either: Andres Borregales still on the board at No. 184. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick198 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Steal is underselling it; Ollie Gordon II at the 198th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jason Marshall Jr. in pick 223, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Taking Ricky White III in the 246th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
