Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Jaguars kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Jared Wiley selection is the head-turner. The Jaguars reached 41 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

On value alone, Newton makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In No. 21 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa at Round 2, Pick 16 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
The board had cheaper options than Zak Zinter at pick 79, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Josh Newton
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Josh Newton in the 85th pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 96 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They did well to land Jaden Hicks in the 114th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A premium they did not need to pay, Cedric Gray a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They reached a country mile for Braelon Allen at the 121st pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jared Wiley in pick 155, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Cephus well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
A reach for Kingsley Eguakun in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Magee at Round 6, Pick 36 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
They jumped the gun on Walter Rouse, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
