Jaguars NFL Draft Grades

[@Jesters7264]

Ive never seen a GM like baalke who drafts so many players who just didnt have much production in college compared to their draft position. I understand traits are.important but so is proof you can perform.

[@mr.dolphin8345]

I'm super excited about BTJ. I expect around 850 yards and 7 TDs. He should be our best redzone target immediately and eventually develop his route tree and bulk up into a legit WR1

[@FXJumper]

I think he get 1k 9tds

[@mr.dolphin8345]

Also, nice Cardiac Cats shoutout!

[@dominiquemiller2213]

I’m very excited. Much happier than I was after last year’s Draft. Bigger stronger and faster for sure. Potential through the roof

[@brianpitts681]

Prince has that attitude of i was slept on so lets see what he can do in camp

[@zs05jag]

Maason Smith is about to show everyone that he’s a BEAST

[@DoNotPassGO]

He can also take #0 now since Ridley isn't there anymore.

[@tonydangelo778]

@@DoNotPassGOhe wants his HS number. He said it in an interview but I dont remember the number right now. It’s available. 94 maybe.

[@Jags2Riches]

Hope you’re right!

[@mrjim3948]

I think that pick was a crazy reach. I hope I'm wrong

[@teflonjohn4018]

Hope so

[@stephenhardy2469]

Prince n Jones gonna be awesome now and in future. I also love Cam Little as well

[@rokit430]

BT, Cam and Jarrian good solid additions with talent. All others, love the attitudes in addition to F.A picks things will get better this season imo. Good feelings, and they are all excited to be with you in Jax. Not going with any hype this year..just Go Jags🙏🐆

[@JamesGoedert-m4v]

A gave the draft a C+ with a chance to be a solid B if Smith can show that he is healthy and can compete. I feel that we reached for just about every pick in this year's draft except for the 1st. I feel that we left a lot of talent on the board when we made all of the rest of our picks after 1. Smith was such a reach for me - love the player, but feel like he was a 3rd round pick and we could have gotten a better CB with that pick. I hope that it turns into an A+ draft in the future because I love my Jaguars, but it was not a good draft IMO from where I sit right now.

[@DTWD420]

Fair grades, would've liked another Guard or Outside Corner somewhere but definitely good with most of it considering the state of the roster right now. I don't like grading this early but have to give a B/B+

[@dereksindler566]

We could have used another backup Center/Gaurd. Hopefully we get a vet before the season starts.

[@CourtneyHinkins-b1j]

A solid A

[@randomdbagwithguitar5691]

Love your analysis on this, but we wont know until 2 to 3 years from now

[@DTWD420]

Agreed, that's when it counts

[@dwaynemccallister572]

No, you will see since Covid etc that’s why all these rookies are 🔥 JAGS understanding the assignment

[@alex420garza]

🤟🏽WELCOME TO DUUUVAL 💪🏽 💯

[@chromebookgod1935]

Seems like there's a lot of boom or bust guys in this group. With Maason Smith in particular it made me feel a little better watching him at the end of the season against Wisconsin compared to some of his earlier outings in 2023

[@Jesters7264]

Yeah all baalkes drafts are boom or bust. And if you look at his record...they are mostly busts!

[@michaelhamilton5564]

Wasn't jeffery Simmons coming off a injury from miss st

[@gasolinedixon2394]

Loved the first round move, but I knew Ballke would get back to being Baalke, the amount of talent and needs he passed up is beyond me. I like Jones, but aside from that I thought it was another bad draft

[@smallcatwyd]

Same, after all the draft hype dies down its gonna look like last years draft.

[@DTWD420]

Disagree other than liking the 1st round which was great - good kicker, returner, Dline depth, corner depth. A couple questionable picks but honestly all picks are questionable until we see them a few years in. Definitely not a A or A+ draft at this moment but I give them credit for addressing some needs.

[@skadoosh3820]

Unless I missed it I don't believe a grade was provided for the Prince pick

[@GenJag]

Apologies if that’s the case. It’s an A for me.

[@streamlucky1904]

I would have picked jenkins over smith based on production alone. It is what it is, gm values measurables more than production.

[@dwaynemccallister572]

Is he 190 or 210?? Cause that’s a big difference

[@_hauntme]

I love the Jags, always will-but this draft was hard to watch. They should have taken Nate Wiggins in the first. We have viable WRs… bad draft… another 9-8 season thanks to Baalke

[@draahpsquad3592]

Nate Wiggins???? Nahhhh

[@_hauntme]

@@draahpsquad3592 He’ll be a stud starter in Baltimore man. Has by far the highest ceiling of any corner in the draft and would have fit nicely with Ty and Darby. Corner is becoming a liability for our defense and we did very little to address it. I’m hoping we can snag a Xavien Howard or Steph Gilmore before camp… disappointing draft.

[@Noname-ps3mq]

Gen jag imagine this We took Dallas turner Moved Trayvon inside Drafted AD Mitchell or ennis rakestraw who were available That was my dream scenario when the board fell the way it did

[@isaiah904s]

Your dream scenario is to move a player out of the position he had 10 sacks in last year yikes glad your not employed there😂

[@Noname-ps3mq]

Yes 100 💯 Dallas turner will surpass him no problem year 1 And he can cause havoc inside Did you watch Georgia bulldogs bro ? He’s played inside for many years You don’t forget how to do that He and armstead would literally reign terror in the league

[@jeremyporter2547]

I understand that much of your grading system is based upon value grades of the available players. However, It is important to remember that value grades are only part of the equation. A team must consider If a player is a fit to the culture of the team, to the personalities that are already there, and if this person has an opportunity to be sustainable for a long period of time. Additionally, Trent is all about physicality. The jaguars have not had sufficient depth in the last two seasons. Trevor nearly got killed last year. It wasn't till he was months into off-season that he recovered. When you combine the upgrades from free agency with the upgrades from the draft, you see a roster that has been refreshed and upgraded. They were not drafting for value, They were drafting for need. They are also playing a percentage game. If you draft enough monsters, some of them will become Hall of famers. Some will be duds, but even the duds will be a big massive Chunk of meat in the middle of the line that they have to run around, and not through. Now that I think about it, that wouldn't really make them a dud would it?

[@maskedman5657]

I think this is a weak draft

[@DTWD420]

Definitely disagree personally

[@isaiah904s]

Second

[@zs05jag]

Jarrian will start outside eventually. Him and Tyson 🤌🔥

[@brianpitts681]

I don't know prince has that attitude of I was slept on so we shall see

[@antbrown1736]

For me, Tyson has to prove it. I know he was injured some last year but when he was on the field, he looked like he had regressed back to his rookie season.

[@brianpitts681]

@@brianpitts681 for sure. It's too early to say if a draft pick is bad or not. We all will see how they adjust to the NFL game speed and who got that tenacity.
