Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars did enough to get by: C.

The Jaguars looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Quincy Riley at pick 36 regardless, 135 picks early.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. 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. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In No. 5 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick 70 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Grey Zabel
They barely believed it either: Grey Zabel still on the board at slot 88. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick107 Rnd4 Donovan Edwards
They reached into another round for Donovan Edwards, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 24 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
Ben Sauls at pick 142 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick182 Rnd6 Chimere Dike
A wild overpay on Chimere Dike in Round 6, Pick 6, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trevor Etienne well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
A real head-scratcher, Bryson Nesbit in the 221st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
