Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars let Salter fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Jaguars were there to profit. Kaidon Salter, the No. 186 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 208th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Harold Perkins Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at the 48th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Simmons at No. 73, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick105 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
Nothing to complain about; Raheim Sanders went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J. Michael Sturdivant. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun slipping to pick No. 144 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in slot 176 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick208 Rnd7 Kaidon Salter
Steal is underselling it; Kaidon Salter at pick 208 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
