Mudski57 DRAFTING FOR THEJaguars

Draft Grade — Jaguars

Good, not great, for the Jaguars: B-. The Jaguars spent real capital to be 25 picks early on Austin Barber, and the board is going to hold them to it. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Smith steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick56
Rnd2
Austin Barber
Austin Barber at Round 2, Pick 24 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81
Rnd3
Ja'Kobi Lane
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ja'Kobi Lane at slot 81. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
Julian Neal
A quiet steal in No. 88: Julian Neal for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick100
Rnd3
Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith at pick No. 100 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124
Rnd4
Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at the 124th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162
Rnd5
Pat Coogan
A conviction pick on Pat Coogan at the 162nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164
Rnd5
Jaydn Ott
They took Jaydn Ott at par in the 164th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233
Rnd7
PJ Williams
PJ Williams in slot 233 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245
Rnd7
Micah Morris
Micah Morris in pick 245 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
