Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jaguars kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Jaguars went off the board in a big way for Jason Marshall Jr., 23 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Deone Walker
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a disruptive interior force. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Nwankpa
No edge and no loss on Xavier Nwankpa in No. 49; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
Value said wait; Jason Marshall Jr. in the 81st pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick113 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick No. 113 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick 145 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
The board had cheaper options than Miles Frazier at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick209 Rnd7 Tyler Batty
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Batty at pick No. 209 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
