Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Jaguars did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Keon Coleman slide, and the Jaguars were the ones holding the card at pick 57. Highway robbery.

If Cephus pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 48 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick57 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
You do not let a wide receiver like Keon Coleman reach pick 57 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick115 Rnd4 James Williams
They took James Williams at par in the 115th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at No. 117 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in slot 126 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick152 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 5, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in pick No. 195. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They paid a round early for Frank Gore Jr. in the 211th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Joshua Cephus at the 234th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
