Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Jaguars.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Jaguars took Jonah Monheim a full 30 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Getting McMillan where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick No. 5 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. More want than need.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Taking Tetairoa McMillan in the 36th 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.
Pick70 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A straight-up fair deal on Tate Ratledge at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 88 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick107 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
No drama and no debate, Anthony Belton went about where he belonged in the 107th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Denzel Burke in No. 126. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in No. 142 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick No. 182 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Jake Briningstool in the 194th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick221 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They jumped the gun on Cam Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
