Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB+
The Jaguars cashed the board's mistake on Lovett: B.

When a board-topper like Fabien Lovett slides to No. 249, you do not overthink it, and the Jaguars did not.

The Gargiulo pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In Round 1, Pick 29 they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A quiet steal in pick No. 48: Troy Franklin for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick61 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They reached into another round for Patrick Paul, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 DJ James
They did well to land DJ James in slot 96, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
They let Mekhi Wingo come to them and pounced at the 114th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A big swing on Luke McCaffrey at the 128th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Steal is underselling it; Kitan Oladapo at No. 200 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 James Williams
James Williams in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick212 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javontae Jean-Baptiste in No. 212. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick236 Rnd7 Nick Gargiulo
A real head-scratcher, Nick Gargiulo in the 236th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
Somehow Fabien Lovett was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 29, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
