Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jaguars and Clark: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. De'Corian Clark at the 211th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If Powers-Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 48 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall slid further than he should have, and the 79th overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 33. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in pick No. 114 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They took Kris Abrams-Draine at par in slot 116, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
A straight-up fair deal on Moose Muhammad III at the 155th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
They paid a round early for T.J. Sanders in No. 195, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in the 211th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at pick No. 237 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
