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

The Drake Nugent pick is the one that will follow the Jaguars into the fall. They took him 47 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Pritchett.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
They paid sticker price for Terrion Arnold in pick 17, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick48 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman in slot 48 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid a round early for Zak Zinter in the 96th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in pick No. 116 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick153 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 17, where Nehemiah Pritchett graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Tylan Grable
They went early on Tylan Grable in pick No. 212, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Drake Nugent
A real head-scratcher, Drake Nugent in No. 236 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
