Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Jaguars took C.J. Hanson a full 27 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will answer for taking edge rusher early while interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots went begging. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick No. 17 they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
No edge and no loss on Kris Jenkins in the 48th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at Round 3, Pick 33 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
A want over a need in slot 114: Mohamed Kamara adds an edge rusher while interior defensive lineman, linebacker and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at pick 153 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in No. 212 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 C.J. Hanson
They reached a country mile for C.J. Hanson at pick No. 236, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
