Grade: B After a fire sale that began with trading Jalen Ramsey, the Jaguars had 12 picks -- seven in the top four rounds -- and traded none. Marrying value and need is easy with so many picks (and holes), but the Jaguars did well. Henderson and Scott provide much-needed cornerback help, and Chaisson could be a star. Jacksonville also bolstered the trenches and found value in Johnson and Luton. The only drag is the talent exodus that cultivated the extra picks.

Best pick Perhaps the best pass-rusher in the draft after Chase Young, Chaisson could have reasonably gone in the top 10 or 15. Instead, he provides the Jags an athletic, versatile bookend to 2019 first-rounder Josh Allen, with Yannick Ngakoue demanding a trade.

Upside pick Henderson and Chaisson also fit this category, but Shenault is one of the more unique players in the draft. He is built and plays like a running back, but he also has terrific hands and leaping ability. If he's healthy and sharpens his route-running, the ceiling is very high.
