Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jaguars fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Micah Mazzccua in No. 212, a good 70 spots before the room expected him. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton in slot 28 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick49 Rnd2 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick60 Rnd2 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at Round 2, Pick 28 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Jason Marshall Jr. in the 81st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Hunter Wohler
They paid a round early for Hunter Wohler in pick 82, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84 Rnd3 Raheim Sanders
They talked themselves into Raheim Sanders at No. 84, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Alfred Collins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Alfred Collins in pick No. 113, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
They paid sticker price for Bryce Foster in the 145th overall pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Zion Nelson
They took Zion Nelson at par in pick 146, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 Steve Linton
No drama and no debate, Steve Linton went about where he belonged in No. 177. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick178 Rnd6 Noah Daniels
Noah Daniels at Round 6, Pick 18 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at the 209th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick212 Rnd7 Micah Mazzccua
They reached into another round for Micah Mazzccua, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Value with a capital V on Will Sheppard in No. 220, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
