Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jaguars: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Jaguars shredded theirs for Sam Hartman. He came off 22 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still on the board.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In No. 17 they get a home-run threat at receiver, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T.J. Tampa. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots untouched.
Pick114 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No drama and no debate, Sataoa Laumea went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 14. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They went early on Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
The board had cheaper options than Walter Rouse at slot 153, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
A tidy little value on Tanner McLachlan in the 212th pick, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They talked themselves into Sam Hartman at No. 236, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
