Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jaguars: B-.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Jaguars walked out of the weekend still thin at interior defensive lineman, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

The Riley reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That Brahmer pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kelley Jones
In pick 26 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60 Rnd2 Ty Benefield
Ty Benefield in the 60th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tony Rojas
A straight-up fair deal on Tony Rojas at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Mike Matthews
Mike Matthews at pick No. 127 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Brandon Baker
Brandon Baker at the 167th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172 Rnd5 Drew Azzopardi
A reasonable price with a little left over, Drew Azzopardi in No. 172. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Dylan Riley
They paid a round early for Dylan Riley in slot 214, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd6 Willie Rodriguez
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Willie Rodriguez. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Benjamin Brahmer
Benjamin Brahmer at pick No. 247 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
