Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Goncalves should have been long gone. The Jaguars pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jaguars watched Matt Goncalves slide 39 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 17th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at Round 2, Pick 16 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick114 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the 114th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick116 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo slid further than he should have, and pick No. 116 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153 Rnd5 Matt Goncalves
You do not let an offensive lineman like Matt Goncalves reach No. 153 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at pick 212 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick236 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 236 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
