Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Jaguars.

Somebody in pick No. 124 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Jaguars sat still while Mike Washington Jr., the No. 72 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They will need Payton to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 56 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81 Rnd3 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at the 81st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They will replay A.J. Haulcy at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Christen Miller
They robbed the room for Christen Miller here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
The board fumbled Mike Washington Jr. all the way to pick No. 124, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Trey Moore
Value said wait; Trey Moore in the 164th overall pick says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick166 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
Taking CJ Daniels in the 166th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Patrick Payton. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick233 Rnd7 Dae'Quan Wright
You do not let a tight end like Dae'Quan Wright reach Round 7, Pick 17 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in pick 240 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Nolan Rucci in pick No. 245 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
