Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Jaguars: B-.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Jaguars never addressed safety, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Vidal reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 17 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at No. 48 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
They paid sticker price for DeWayne Carter in pick No. 96, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Theo Johnson a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A reach for Johnny Wilson in pick 116; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jarrian Jones in the 153rd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
No drama and no debate, Caedan Wallace went about where he belonged in the 212th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick236 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at Round 7, Pick 16 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
