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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Jaguars shredded theirs for Trevin Wallace. He came off 24 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety, quarterback and other spots.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In pick 17 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick48 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in pick No. 48. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Maason Smith adds a DT-EDGE and leaves safety, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick114 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at Round 4, Pick 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the 116th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Fair-plus on Jarrian Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in slot 212 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Value said wait; Joshua Cephus in Round 7, Pick 16 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
