Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Jaguars spent No. 233 on Jalen Thompson, a name the board had a full 61 spots lower. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Moss that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at pick 53 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in Round 3, Pick 19, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick84 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A clean, defensible pick in slot 84 with a little surplus value in Eli Stowers. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Drew Shelton in pick No. 100. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They read the board right and D'Angelo Ponds was the payoff at the 119th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at No. 161 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick182 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the 182nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
A big swing on Princewill Umanmielen at pick No. 206, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
Jalen Thompson in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick235 Rnd7 Miller Moss
The board fumbled Miller Moss all the way to the 235th pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
They took Pat Coogan at par in Round 7, Pick 27, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
