Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 237th overall pick: the Jaguars steal Castles and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jaguars watched McCallan Castles slide 85 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In the 17th overall pick they get a true top target, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
The board fumbled Cooper DeJean all the way to pick 48, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze in pick No. 79 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Steal is underselling it; Kingsley Suamataia at Round 3, Pick 33 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Max Melton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Max Melton in the 114th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick155 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at No. 155 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at slot 195 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Fair-plus on Gabe Hall, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237 Rnd7 McCallan Castles
They will replay McCallan Castles at the 237th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
