Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in slot 237 lands the Jaguars a B+, Franklin and all.

The real work happened on the phones. The Jaguars fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Franklin value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Adding Najee Harris by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In No. 23 they get a disruptor off the edge. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Guyton at the 48th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kalen King
Kalen King at pick No. 55 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in Round 3, Pick 15, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 96th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Junior Colson
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in pick 114; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at pick 116 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Good price on Joe Milton III in slot 155, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
Nothing to complain about; Austin Stogner went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 211th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
They barely believed it either: Zakhari Franklin still on the board at the 237th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
