Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jaguars: B-.

The Jaguars torched the value chart for Khristian Boyd, taking him 27 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Landing Milton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the 17th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 48 is lovely value for the edge rusher. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cam Hart
No drama and no debate, Cam Hart went about where he belonged in the 96th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at Round 4, Pick 15 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They went early on Ben Sinnott in slot 117, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick152 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khristian Boyd in the Round 5 slot, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 195 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick211 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
A running back of that caliber at No. 211 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Keaton Bills
Keaton Bills in pick 234 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
