Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Jaguars.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jared Wiley in No. 168, a good 28 spots before the room expected him.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Speights to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A reach on Tyler Guyton in slot 33; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick48 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at Round 2, Pick 16 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick65 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in the 65th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They took Cooper Beebe at par in pick No. 79, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Braden Fiske
They paid sticker price for Braden Fiske in the 85th overall pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Khyree Jackson a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kamal Hadden this early at Round 4, Pick 16. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They liked Cedric Gray enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in slot 155 with a little surplus value in Keith Randolph Jr.. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in the 168th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Kenny Logan Jr. at the 195th overall pick, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A conviction pick on Jase McClellan at No. 199 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at pick No. 211 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
Dylan McMahon in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
