Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jaguars and Dixon: B.

The board owed the Jaguars one, and it paid up: Johnny Dixon, the No. 191 name on the board, sitting there at No. 212 like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
Kamari Lassiter in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in pick 114 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zak Zinter at the 116th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 153 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
The board fumbled Johnny Dixon all the way to slot 212, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at No. 236 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
