Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jaguars and Thomas Jr.: B.

The Jaguars did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Brian Thomas Jr. fell into the 48th pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Taking Brian Thomas Jr. in No. 48 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
A tidy bit of business in pick 96, where Jonah Elliss graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick114 Rnd4 Maason Smith
A tidy little value on Maason Smith in pick No. 114, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick153 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They read the board right and Trevor Keegan was the payoff at the 153rd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A clean, defensible pick in slot 212 with a little surplus value in Jared Wiley. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Frank Gore Jr. at the 236th pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
