Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Jaguars torched the value chart for Brandon Coleman, taking him 63 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They talked themselves into Ruke Orhorhoro at pick 48, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
They paid sticker price for Caelen Carson in pick No. 84, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick96 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Darius Robinson in the 96th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick115 Rnd4 Brandon Coleman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Coleman well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Delmar Glaze
A big swing on Delmar Glaze at Round 4, Pick 17, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 5, Pick 16 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They went early on Christian Jones in No. 195, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
No edge and no loss on Jared Wiley in pick 211; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Jalen Green in pick No. 234 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
