Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Gillotte should have been long gone. The Jaguars pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ashton Gillotte slide, and the Jaguars were the ones holding the card at pick No. 81. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They will answer for taking edge rusher early while wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots went begging. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Patrick Payton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Patrick Payton in the 49th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 81 on Ashton Gillotte with wide receiver, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick113 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
A safety of that caliber at pick 113 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
You do not let a cornerback like Jordan Hancock reach the 145th overall pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Zach Rice
Zach Rice slipping to slot 177 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209 Rnd7 Tyler Van Dyke
A quiet steal in the Round 7 slot: Tyler Van Dyke for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
