Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Jaguars: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Jaguars never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Burden III at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The Powell-Ryland reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 5 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick70 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in the 70th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in pick 88 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
No edge and no loss on Billy Bowman Jr. in pick No. 107; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at slot 126 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They went early on Antwaun Powell-Ryland in Round 5, Pick 4, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
By-the-book stuff, Jack Kiser at the 182nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the 194th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick221 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in pick No. 221 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
