Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars robbed the room for Johnson. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Kaleb Johnson sat on the board until the 128th pick, and the Jaguars did not need to be asked twice. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Thornton Jr. lower, and that gap is the story. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick 1 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the Round 2 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick65 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Fannin Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick No. 92 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Darien Porter
The board had Darien Porter higher than the 103rd pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
The board fumbled Kaleb Johnson all the way to Round 4, Pick 27, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 139 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in No. 178, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
A conviction pick on Kevin Winston Jr. at the 192nd pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in pick 216 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
