Draft Grade — Jaguars

A solid, sensible weekend for the Jaguars: B-.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Jaguars spent the 84th pick on Maason Smith while safety sat unaddressed.

Every board in the league had Wiley lower, and that gap is the story. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a No. 1 receiver, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 48 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With safety still to address, they spent pick No. 84 on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick96 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in pick 96 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at No. 115 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A premium they did not need to pay, Javon Foster a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 16. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in the 195th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They took Jordan Magee at par in the 211th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
A conviction pick on Taulia Tagovailoa at slot 234 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
