Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Ward in the fold, and a B for the Jaguars.

The board owed the Jaguars one, and it paid up: Jordan James, the No. 119 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 182 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Cam Ward gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick No. 5 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A slide stopped in No. 36, with Malaki Starks worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick70 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in the 70th overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mason Taylor at pick No. 88 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at Round 4, Pick 5 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at the 126th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at slot 142. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jordan James
Somehow Jordan James was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick 194 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They will replay Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 221 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
