Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars won the night they stopped Howard from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Will Howard got past him. The Jaguars do not have to explain a thing at Round 4, Pick 24.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Fortune pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham at slot 5 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A reach for Xavier Watts in pick 36; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They paid sticker price for Maxwell Hairston in the 70th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 88th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick106 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
A conviction pick on O'Donnell Fortune at No. 106 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Will Howard
They will replay Will Howard at pick No. 125 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick143 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Dillon Gabriel graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in Round 6, Pick 6 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
Nice patience on Donovan Edwards, who had no business lasting to slot 196. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 5 is lovely value for the safety. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
