Draft Grade — Jaguars

FutureB-
The Jaguars worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Keaten Wade, 68 picks early at pick No. 245. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
The veteran additions, Dawson Knox chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in slot 49 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74
Rnd3
Taurean York
You do not let a linebacker like Taurean York reach the 74th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91
Rnd3
Domani Jackson
A reach for Domani Jackson in No. 91; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
Taking Malachi Fields in the 100th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110
Rnd4
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in pick 110 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid in Round 5, Pick 11 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191
Rnd6
Ricardo Hallman
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ricardo Hallman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick198
Rnd6
Tristan Leigh
No drama and no debate, Tristan Leigh went about where he belonged in the 198th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213
Rnd6
Conner Weigman
The board fumbled Conner Weigman all the way to the 213th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217
Rnd7
Diego Pavia
Steal is underselling it; Diego Pavia at pick 217 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222
Rnd7
J.Michael Sturdivant
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, J.Michael Sturdivant in pick No. 222, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223
Rnd7
Jack Velling
Jack Velling at Round 7, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230
Rnd7
Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at No. 230 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234
Rnd7
Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at slot 234 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239
Rnd7
TJ Metcalf
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TJ Metcalf in the Round 7 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243
Rnd7
Xavian Sorey Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavian Sorey Jr.. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade in pick No. 245 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor itch, scratched.
