Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Jaguars.

There is a lot to like until you notice safety is still a hole. The Jaguars never got to the one that mattered most. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Every board in the league had Wingo lower, and that gap is the story. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
No drama and no debate, Quinyon Mitchell went about where he belonged in the 17th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick48 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at Round 2, Pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A reach on Mekhi Wingo in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Maason Smith
By-the-book stuff, Maason Smith at No. 114 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They paid sticker price for Tyler Davis in slot 116, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick153 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
A reach for Dwight McGlothern in the 153rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A straight-up fair deal on Caedan Wallace at pick 212, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable in pick No. 236 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
