Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars let Coleman fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Keon Coleman had no business being available in the 48th pick, and the Jaguars did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Jaguars had louder needs to answer first. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Van Pran lower, and that gap is the story.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 17th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at pick 79 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in slot 96 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Audric Estime
A slide stopped in No. 114, with Audric Estime worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at safety, quarterback and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett is a better player than the 155th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 195 with a little surplus value in Curtis Jacobs. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick 211 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Joshua Gray at the 237th pick is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
