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

The Jaguars looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Ainias Smith at the Round 4 slot regardless, 35 picks early. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That McGlothern pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 22 they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick54 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 22, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sedrick Van Pran. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They did well to land Zak Zinter in the 96th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
No edge and no loss on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 113; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Good price on Jase McClellan in pick 200, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They robbed the room for De'Corian Clark here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick243 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
The board fumbled Dwight McGlothern all the way to pick No. 243, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
