Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jaguars: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Ben Sinnott at pick No. 116. The Jaguars jumped the board by 27 and dared it to prove them wrong. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 9 of 9 of the wish list covered. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 T.J. Tampa
In pick No. 31 they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 48th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 63 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick80 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Johnny Wilson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 94th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at slot 96 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They liked Justin Eboigbe enough to skip the value, taking him in the 114th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 James Williams
They took James Williams at par in pick No. 131, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in No. 155 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick 161 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 20, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211 Rnd6 Taulia Tagovailoa
A conviction pick on Taulia Tagovailoa at the 211th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
No edge and no loss on Joshua Cephus in pick No. 237; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at the 238th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 34 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. The roster fit checks out.
