Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Jaguars.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Max Brosmer in the 180th overall pick, a good 100 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Good price on Ashton Jeanty in No. 5, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick36 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick 36 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at the 70th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore is a better player than Round 3, Pick 24 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick141 Rnd5 Deontae Lawson
Steal is underselling it; Deontae Lawson at the 141st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180 Rnd6 Max Brosmer
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Max Brosmer well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in the 192nd pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
