Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB- NeedC TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jaguars turned the phones into found money: B.

The Jaguars put a flag in the ground for Eli Finley, 61 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

On value alone, Stone makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. With running back unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Trevor Lauck
In pick No. 28 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick48 Rnd2 David Stone
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like David Stone reach the Round 2 slot and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Bray Hubbard
A surprising call. With running back still to address, they spent pick 60 on Bray Hubbard, a safety they were not short of.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ben Roberts
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Ben Roberts at linebacker with running back open.
Pick91 Rnd3 Reed Harris
They went early on Reed Harris in No. 91, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Josh Hoover
Of all the spots to shop, they chose quarterback. Josh Hoover in the 126th overall pick leaves running back for later.
Pick127 Rnd4 Koi Perich
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 26 on Koi Perich with running back unsolved.
Pick163 Rnd5 Eli Bowen
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 163 with a little surplus value in Eli Bowen. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick164 Rnd5 Eli Finley
A big swing on Eli Finley at the 164th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick174 Rnd5 Robert Fitzgerald
Robert Fitzgerald in slot 174 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
Pick179 Rnd5 Nicholas Rodriguez
Nicholas Rodriguez in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick247 Rnd7 Boo Carter
Value said wait; Boo Carter in No. 247 says they were not listening. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick248 Rnd7 Niki Prongos
Niki Prongos in the 248th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
