Now that the Jaguars have made all their picks, what overall grade do you give their draft class? I give them a solid B. Jacobs and Richardson should both make the team and were great value picks. As far as the earlier rounds, Chark and Harrison also were very good value and will eventually become starters. I downgraded them a little since they failed to take a tight end or nickel back. The Bryan pick will ultimately determine whether this class gets a different grade when we look at it in 2-3 years. He does have great potential, but his production was not great. I would have preferred Hernandez.

---

At face value I’ll go B. Would’ve been an A if tanner lee wasn’t an F pick.

---

Does the Meeks UDFA signing raise the grade any? He's a 3rd-5th rd CB from what I understand

---

I will go with A-/B+

---

At face value I’ll go B. Would’ve been an A if tanner lee wasn’t an F pick.

Lee has all the tools. He just hasn't seen a DB he didn't like.

---

I'll give it a provisional B-.

The Bryan pick is a D. Good potential. Lack of college production. 1st round pick used on our deepest position. Missed on getting Hernandez.
Tanner Lee pick is an F. Wasted pick. Could have had him as UDFA.
Will Richardson is an A. Good value at his draft position.

---

I give it a B overall too. Too much projection required from raw players to honestly give an A. In the standard 3 year look back it could be an A if Bryan and Chark develop properly, but just can't do it right now.

Bryan - B -- Good value with the talent/upside but raw and not a need, and there were equal talents that also fit a need like Hernandez/Goedert available. As with Chark, could change big time if they develop well.
Chark - C+ -- Was originally a B for me before we saw how darn late some other really solid WRs went. Could have gone with a different good player here and still gotten a very talented WR much later. Mason Rudolph/St. Brown >>>> Chark/Tanner Lee for example.
Harrison - B -- Interesting zigzag from raw/upside to ready/developed. Could plug and play right now if Church gets hurt, but lack of athleticism and coverage ability keeps his upside from being special.
Richardson - B+ -- Good value here. Can play all across the line and already better in pass pro than you would expect from someone with his measurables. Probably the best blend of BAP/need we made.
Tanner Lee - F -- Really bad. So many talented players on the board and we take quite possibly the worst QB in the entire draft...
Leon Jacobs - A -- He's a weird blend of ultra explosive, way undersized pass rusher and explosive but laterally challenged inside linebacker. Still has tons of tools and many ways to fill roles that we need. Perfect late round snag.
Logan Cooke - F -- I'm just going to pretend that Lazard or Meeks was our 7th round pick and then I'm happy.

---

I'd give it a B+.

If you told me before the draft that we would end up with Bryan, Chark, Harrison, Richardson , Jacobs, Meeks and Lazard I'd have bitten your hand off.

Feel like we should have landed a pure guard like Teller and a slot corner but I'm really happy with the group we landed.

---

1. Taven Bryan- I was not high on the guy at all. He has all the tools, but disappears for long periods of time. He lacks consistency and I can't stand that. Grade C

2. D.J. Chark- This is a case of loving the player and hating the pick. If we had a reliable QB who the coaches trusted to throw the ball downfield with accuracy, I'd give this pick an A+, but we don't. I just believe this selection would have been better used at a different position. He'll be underutilized here, because we don't have a QB who can consistently get him the ball for big plays. Grade B

3. Ronnie Harrison- This pick was pretty much a steal. At worst, he can be our top backup at both Safety positions. At best, he can win a starting spot. I love his versatility to play FS or SS. Grade B+

4. Will Richardson- This was without a doubt, my favorite pick of the draft. Richardson is an excellent pass protector and very good run blocker. IMO, he is the equivalent of what Parnell is, at his best. If not for some off the field issues, I truly believe he would've been a day 2 pick. At best, he'll be the new starting RT, at worst, I believe he will be our top swing Tackle. Grade A+

6. Tanner Lee- Seriously? This guy was undraftable in my opinion. He's accuracy is all over the place, he struggles reading defenses and his technique is poor. This was a totally wasted pick. He won't make it out of the preseason and he may not make it out of training camp. Grade F

7. Leon Jacobs- I was surprised to see him fall so low. Although he wasn't my favorite linebacker in the draft, he definitely has potential. He has superb athleticism, but has never put it all together to have that breakout season. I believe he will be a better pro than he was a college player. I can see him starting the strong side linebacker position from day one of the regular season. Grade B

7. Logan Cooke- Another wasted pick. I'm a firm believer in never wasting a draft pick on a punter. They can easily be found as UDFA's. Grade F

Here's my opinion.

1-29 - Taven Bryan - DT - Florida - This had to be an owner's pick. Tom Coughlin and David Caldwell fully intended to draft Louisiana State WR D. J. Chark. They were candid about his first round talent. They had to sit on pins and needles - at one point even tried to trade up to over-all pick #50 in order to prevent Chark from being selected by another team - until D. J. fortunately dropped to them at 2-29. How the very private details of Shad Khan's Wembley Stadium bid became international news more than likely ties into yet another obtuse Florida Gator first round pick. Khan's private bid being blabbed out in the press is the kind of bombshell generated to create the extortion plot. This pick has the look and feel of a forced pick. Bryan is a generic lineman coming from a 4-7 also ran. The local media tends to abuse and extort in order to get their desires. It's now the Gainesville Times Union for a reason. They aren't alone. The corruption in the local media is well known. There is no peace in Jacksonville when the booze hounds sense opposition to them acting as career-placement specialists for the University of Florida football program. Dare I mention the name T-m T---w? It is so sad to see grown up people so insecure they must ruin and NFL franchise. Bryan is a Linus Van Pelt security blanket for orange and blue cultists. Snap out of the hypnosis long enough to comprehend Gene Frenette still owes Wayne Weaver $26 million dollars for Derrick Harvey. The Jaguars' don't seem to know what criminal extortion looks like. Well, when they look at the field and see Taven Bryan splatting all over the turf on just about every play he participates in, or watch TMZ's latest Dante Fowler, Jr. CCTV video that's the crux of the annual draft the best Gator available scam. Grade: D-

2-29 - D. J. Chark - WR - Louisiana State - A - Until his break-out spanning the time beginning with the Reeses' Senior and ending with a awesome performance at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianaopolis, D. J. Chark was explosive talent tucked away on a forbidden bayou. It's sad that Tom Coughlin and David Caldwell had to make like Roger Moore in 'Live and Let Die' stone-stepping across the heads of snarling, jaw-snapping alligators in order to do their jobs, but thank goodness they did. The Jaguars candidly stated that they had a first round grade on Chark. They stopped short of confessing they were not allowed to draft him time-appropriately due to a quid pro quo arrangement which dampened the media leak Jaguars' owner, Shad Khan, was negotiating the purchase of London. England's Wembley Stadium. Other indicators suggest that Chark was a high to mid second round player. Whichever you tend to agree with, it's pretty much a consensus that Chark should have been gone well prior to 2-29. Blazing speed, the ability to create separation from the defending corner back, and Leonard Fournette helped the Jaguars in their decision to draft Chark. Grade: A+

3-29 - Ronnie Harrison - S - Alabama - The Jaguars really helped their defensive backs unit increase in talent. Harrison is a sharp player from perhaps the greatest college football system ever at Alabama. Ronnie "fell" relating to the same strange logic which prevented, Jerry Kramer, the Green Bay Packers'  All-Pro offensive guard from reaching the Pro Football Hall of Fame for what seems like 50 years. Each year, Nick Saban, Alabama's head coach, cranks out so many talented, pro-ready prospects that it is not surprising a few slip through the cracks. The same type of numbed vision several very fine Ohio State players suffered for this year. There is no doubt Harrison was the best player available, if not, one of the best, when he was selected. Ronnie enters the defensive backs unit and will compete with two solid veteran safeties, Barry Church and Tashwan Gibson. Grade: A+

4-29 - Will Richardson - OL - North Carolina State - Caldwell is out on the limb again. Drafting Will Richardson represents accepting a at-risk player. Ranked 94 according to NFL.com draft grades, Richardson was taken 129 over-all so he does represent a player within the realm of best available. His talent appears to be about that of a fourth round selection. He provides the Jaguars a player much much better than the typical taxi squad replacement should they face injury at the offensive line unit. Scouts seem to acknowledge Richardson can develop into a starter. Keeping Will chemically-dependent free, so to speak, is a  potential lurking challenge. Grade: B+

6-29 - Tanner Lee - QB - Nebraska - Don't like this pick. Lee is awful and his potential is non-existent. The pick was wasted as nobody in the NFL was going to draft him otherwise. Comparable to Uncle Rico in awareness and mobility, Lee lacks comprehension of organized offense within organized football. Should compete with a typical athletic sailor in terms of ability to hit the target sending Bobo the Clown into the drink at the carnival dunking booth. Grade:F-

Jaguars' over-all draft grade: B-

Lol. Didn't even read past your take on bryan. Is it hard to fall asleep with a tinfoil hat on?

---

Our first 3 picks were crazy value based on projected rankings, the team is also showing us great planning for the future to replace aging vets to prevent big holes from opening up in the roster.

You add the later round gems like Richardson and that absolute monster of a LB that could both turn into starters for us and I give it a solid A.

Only thing holding it back from an A+ to me is the Tanner Lee pick. There were other guys there that I liked better and thought had more value to the team but that's really just nitpicking. It's a late 6th round pick, doesn't impact the draft much.

---

Coughlin when asked if winning will be a focus: "What the hell else is there? This is nice and dandy, but winning is what all this is about."

From a "Did I get the guys I wanted/liked" this is a B draft. Taven Bryan barely registered on my radar, and I had a clear preference for Hernandez, who was on the board when we chose Bryan. I was on the Chark bandwagon for a while (though it wasn't a sprint to the podium pick until later), and to have him available at the bottom of the 2nd round at the same draft spot as Allen Robinson, without trading up, was great. I wasn't thinking S much at all, and as such Harrison barely registered.

From a value standpoint, this is a B+ draft. From all of the mocks I've seen, late 20s is about where everyone seemingly had Bryan. Chark represents good value at the bottom of the 2nd round. Whereas there was some debate over whether he would be worth the 29th overall, I haven't seen anyone complain about the pick at 61. Harrison and Richardson seem to have been great value. After that, the value vanished. I don't think Tanner Lee, much less a punter, even registered.

I think this was a needs based draft, but a different type. Traditionally, needs based drafting identifies a hole in their roster somewhere and players to meet that need, hopefully with some relation to their talent. But I think the needs based analysis was done with anticipated holes in the roster due to the salary cap. Bryan, Harrison and Richardon are players drafted at positions where there was not an immediate need, but in another year, will replace players up in age and expensive. If the figures I've seen are true, Malik Jackson will carry a $15 million cap figure in 2019. I believe Bryan was picked and will be groomed to replace him. Barry Church is 30 now, and carries a high cap figure. Parnell will be 33-34 years old in 2019, and carries an inflated cap #. Assuming the team hit on the pick, Richardson should be able to step in the starting lineup in 2019. Arguably, the only guy taken in the top 4 rounds that fits an immediate need is Chark.

This draft strategy allowed the Jaguars to draft proactively, giving the team great depth and flexibility, and enabling the team the luxury of not putting any rookies into the lineup prematurely.

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Potential Potential Potential...

As far as impacts for this year you really only have Chark and possibly Richardson seeing significant time and that is if he can unseat Cann cause he isnt unseating Parnell.

If we were drafting to win now this is probably a C/C+ draft.

Now if the top 4 picks pan out by years end/ready to contribute as starters in 2019 season than this is an easy A+ draft. Not only because you come out with 4 starters but also because it makes cuts/salaries easier to make.

Yes a RG would have been nice but after next year one/two of Dareus/Campbell/Jackson would be gone. Taven Bryan is the Malik Jackson type 3T but I can envision him taking Campbell's position as well with all of his athleticism.

Harrison falls into this area as well. Gipson/Church can both be cut next year and open up significant cap space.

Richardson is two fold if he pans out...he could be our RG or he could step in for Parnell after next year allowing year.

In 2019 the caps if released would free up:
Campbell : 11.5 M
Jackson: 11 M
Dareus : 11.5 M
Gipson : 7.4 M
Church: 6 M
Parnell: 6 M

This draft allows those difficult cuts above become more manageable.

---

First Round: Taven Bryan, DT - C+
Bryan seems like a guy who's a jar on the shelf.  It's a good developmental pick, but I'm not a big fan of those in the first round.  I think he has a high ceiling -- and if he reaches it, the pick will be great.  But I think he needs to develop first, and there's always a question mark there.  Of course, we were drafting at the end of the first round.  Time will tell on Bryan, as with all picks.  But I'm giving it a C+ right now.

Second Round: DJ Chark, WR - B+
Chark didn't produce much in college.  The question is: How much of that was on a lack of QB?  One thing is for sure: He's fast.  And he could be our top receiver.  For a second round pick, Chark makes a lot of sense.   I think he could have went a bit earlier, but he also could have gone a bit later.  Overall, not a bad pick at all.

Third Round: Ronnie Harrison, S - B+
Ronnie Harrison was surrounded by talent at Alabama.  The good news for him is, he'll continue to be surrounded by talent here.  He's got some learning to do, but as a third rounder that's just fine.  I like the Harrison pick, and I think he can help out on special teams significantly.  

Fourth Round: Will Richardson, OL - A
There are character concerns surrounding Richardson, but that's what allows a guy like him to drop to the 4th in the first place.  I wouldn't have been upset with him in the third round, and can't be upset with him in the fourth.  We needed OL help (which we did get through free agency already) and if Richardson can keep his head on straight he could be a big part of our o-line for years to come.  And in the 4th round, that's exactly what you want.  There's a big risk with his character -- but it's a risk worth taking in the 4th.

Sixth Round: Tanner Lee, QB - F
Really?  Logan Woodside would have been available in the 7th.  And though he's undersized, i think he's a better choice.  I honestly don't see him making the roster.  Which isn't unusual for a 6th round pick, but I think better talent could have been had.  Someone who'd have a better chance to make the team.  But hey, maybe I'm wrong.  I'm not a genius when it comes to football picks.  If I was, I'd have a job with a front office somewhere.  Or at least at ESPN. Can't be that hard.  

Seventh Round: Leon Jacobs, EDGE - B
It's the seventh round.  This is about what you'd expect from a 7th round pick.  Jacobs could turn into something.  Maybe, maybe not.  He's got enough talent.  Good pick.

Seventh Rounder: Logan Cooke, P - F
I feel we'd have done better to just draft one of the UDFA guys we signed, and then picked up Cooke or someone else.  At least it's not a punter in the 3rd I guess.  Still, not sure Logan Cooke was the best punter on the board if that's the route we wanted to go.


Overall: B-
Overall I give the team a B-.  Which I think is a pretty fair grade.  I'm not gushing over this draft like some of our past drafts, but it's not a major disappointment either.  In 4 years time, who knows how we'll grade this draft.  How many of these players will still be on the team by now? Looking back at 2014, here's what we had:

Bortles
Lee
Robinson
Linder
Colvin
Smith
Smith 2
Bowanko
Storm Johnson

UDFAs:
Allen Hunrs
Tyler Shatley
Josh Wells

Looking back, Telvin Smith was easily the best pick there.  Bortles has turned out okay, though not as good as I had hoped.  Robinson is sadly gone, but was sstill an excellent pick.  We'll see how wrong I was in 2022.  Hopefully I'll have underestimated the players and not overestimated them.

That's if every one of those draft picks comes out of the gate being a star and that's not going to happen. If we start cutting guys like Campbell, Dareus and Jackson we're gonna go back to being a 6-10 team. I hope to God, we are smarter than that.

---

1. Taven Bryan (B-): If you are looking at 2018, it's the opposite of a need.  He'll be playing a position manned by either pro-bowler Malik Jackson or pro-bowler Calais Campbell.  That being said, we have salary cap issues in 2019 and cutting Jackson would save us $11 million.  Campbell is also an aging player with a huge salary who won't be here forever.  As for talent, I see Bryan as a boom or bust pick.  He does have a very ceiling, but he also has a low floor.  He has incredible physical attributes, but he hasn't shown the production on the field.  I really thought Will Hernandez would have been a great blend of need and value at this pick.  Can you imagine our interior line with pro-bowler Norwell, near pro-bowler level Linder and the highly talent Hernandez?  That would be a scary good interior for a team that wants to run the ball.  Keep in mind that Cann is a free agent at the end of the year and we have salary cap issues, so Hernandez would have filled a long term need as well.

2.  D.J. Chark (A): He was the fastest receiver at the combine and also has good size at 6'3" and 200 pounds.  He didn't have college's best stats, but when I watch his highlight film, I see major failures by the quarterback.  If some of those balls are thrown correctly (and not behind him), he would have had much more yards and touchdowns.  You were able to see what he could do with a different quarterback in the Senior Bowl where he was the game's co-MVP.  I would also note that I love in the scouting report where I see that he is considered to have the ability to make safeties back off.  That's something this offense desperately needs.  He may do as much for our running game as he does for our passing game. Oh, he is also a good punt returner.

3.  Ronnie Harrison (B): Similar to our first round pick, he's not a need in 2018.  Unless there's an injury, I don't see him playing much in 2018 other than special teams.  However, if he can be a capable starter, he could replace Barry Church, who besides being 30, has a salary of over $6 million in 2019 with no dead money if cut.  As for value, I've seen him graded everywhere from A+ to C.  My guess is somewhere in between the two.

4.  Will Richardson (A): This was a big need.  At worst (assuming he stays clean), it's valuable depth.  At best, he could take over long term at right tackle.  Parnell is an aging player (currently 31) with $6 million in salary cap savings if cut next year.  Richardson could also be in competition for the right guard position this year.  In regards to talent, this is a player who didn't allow a single sack or quarterback pressure in his senior year.  He likely would have been a second round pick if not for his off the field issues.  In regards to those issues, I don't like it, but we would never have gotten him here without them.  I think it's a risk very worth taking.

6.  Tanner Lee (D): This guy was incredibly inaccurate in college with a ton of interceptions.  The only things saving him from being an F is that this is a late 6th round pick, it is a need and he does have some very good physical attributes.  However, it still feels doubtful that he makes the 53 man roster and even very iffy to make the practice squad.

7A. Leon Jacob (A): I like his physical abilities.  I think he can compete for our last starting linebacker spots.  If not, his experience playing both inside and outside linebacker makes him good emergency depth.  I think him getting moved around a bunch in college hurt his stats which allowed him to drop in the draft.  If nothing else, he'll likely be a good special teams player.  That alone makes him a decent pick in the seventh round.

7B.  Logan Cooke (C-): I don't have a big problem with taking a punter in the late seventh, but there doesn't appear to be anything special about him.  There's a long list of college punters with better stats last year.  Why not wait until UDFA?  The thing saving him from a lower grade is that this is the late 7th round and he does have a decent chance to make the team.  Nortman struggled last year and cutting him could be a quick way to save almost $2 million off the salary cap.

We won't be cutting all 3 in a year but you can guarantee one of those will be gone next year.
