Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jaguars worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Jaguars took Stephen Dix Jr. at pick No. 239, roughly 134 spots before his name belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Lawson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 58 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at pick No. 74 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Michael Taaffe in the 90th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Carson Beck
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Carson Beck in slot 91, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
They paid sticker price for Jaden Greathouse in Round 4, Pick 8, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Kage Casey
They reached into another round for Kage Casey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dane Key
A conviction pick on Dane Key at slot 149 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Xavier Scott
A premium they did not need to pay, Xavier Scott a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Rasheem Biles
No edge and no loss on Rasheem Biles in Round 5, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dante Dowdell
Value said wait; Dante Dowdell in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
No drama and no debate, Pat Coogan went about where he belonged in pick 198. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick223 Rnd7 TJ Metcalf
They liked TJ Metcalf enough to skip the value, taking him in the 223rd pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
A real head-scratcher, Jason Henderson in pick No. 230 is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Stephen Dix Jr.
Stephen Dix Jr. in the 239th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
