Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Jaguars checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody had Kingsley Eguakun this high, and it is not close. The Jaguars reached 64 spots to get him at slot 236.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, 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 interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 17 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick67 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Austin Booker
A tidy little value on Austin Booker in pick No. 82, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick96 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They took Audric Estime at par in the 96th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in slot 114 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at Round 4, Pick 16 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Josh Newton
No drama and no debate, Josh Newton went about where he belonged in the 117th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Khristian Boyd. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 37 with a little surplus value in Jaylan Ford. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kingsley Eguakun
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kingsley Eguakun this early at No. 236. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
