Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Jaguars spent No. 88 on Jaishawn Barham, a name most had 32 spots down the list. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The Barham pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots still on the board. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
They paid a round early for Derrick Moore in the 56th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Brenen Thompson
They liked Brenen Thompson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 81st pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaishawn Barham
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots to take Jaishawn Barham, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick100 Rnd3 Keyron Crawford
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Keyron Crawford with interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots unsolved.
Pick124 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at slot 124 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
