Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jaguars and Evans: A-.

When a board-topper like Mitchell Evans slides to pick 184, you do not overthink it, and the Jaguars did not. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

Reaching for Milroe left real value on the table behind him. Adding Jeff Okudah by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 4, where Kenneth Grant graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Aireontae Ersery at the 58th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in slot 81 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the 88th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 89 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Nice patience on Denzel Burke, who had no business lasting to pick No. 106. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick 118 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at No. 125. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
The board had Mello Dotson higher than the 143rd pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in pick 184 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Kyle Monangai
A straight-up fair deal on Kyle Monangai at Round 6, Pick 18, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
