Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 212th pick: the Jaguars steal Dixon and grade out a B-.

The Jaguars did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Johnny Dixon fell into pick No. 212. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Thomas Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 17 they get a matchup problem out wide, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They took Kris Jenkins at par in slot 48, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick96 Rnd3 Malik Washington
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Washington in the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cole Bishop at the 114th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Blake Fisher. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
A tidy bit of business in the 153rd overall pick, where Trevor Keegan graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
They will replay Johnny Dixon at pick No. 212 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony at Round 7, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
