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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Jaguars spent the 117th overall pick on Jordan Jefferson, a name most had 69 spots down the list.

They banked enough surplus on Paul to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Taking Brian Thomas Jr. in pick No. 48 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Circle this one: Patrick Paul at slot 96 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 DJ James
DJ James in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick 117 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylin Simpson in the 152nd overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matthew Jones well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Daequan Hardy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Daequan Hardy at the 211th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Fair-plus on Tyler Owens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
