Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jaguars: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Khristian Boyd at the 148th pick, a reach of 31 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback. The Proctor value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 18 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A tidy bit of business in slot 48, where Keon Coleman graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A want over a need in pick 96: Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE while quarterback keeps waiting.
Pick115 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in No. 115 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Josh Newton
The board had cheaper options than Josh Newton at Round 4, Pick 16, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 117th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
They left a pile of value on the table to take Khristian Boyd this early at Round 5, Pick 12. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick152 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
A real head-scratcher, Brandon Coleman in pick 152 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylan Ford well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A tidy little value on Jase McClellan in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Myles Murphy
A conviction pick on Myles Murphy at No. 211 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Somehow Josh Proctor was still sitting there in the 234th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A need, and now a little less of one.
