Grading Jaguars' Round 3 picks: Draft experts mostly underwhelmed

Draft experts grade Jaguars' Emmanuel Pregnon pick

USA Today: A-

"James Gladstone clearly wants the Jaguars to level up at the line of scrimmage. A two-time transfer from Wyoming and USC, Pregnon is solid to the core and can be trusted to get the job done in all phases."

Yahoo! Sports: B+

"An older prospect with huge hands and good length, he'll be better in the run game for the Jaguars than the passing game, but he fills a need in a solid way. Good range for him too."

CBS Sports: A

"The Jaguars get one of the most physically imposing offensive linemen in the draft class. There's not much body fat on the 314-pounder. He can really move people in the run game and provide firm pockets in pass protection."

Draft experts grade Jaguars' Jalen Huskey pick

USA Today: D+

"James Gladstone caps a petty strange night for Jacksonville with a serious stretch. Huskey was productive and versatile throughout his career, but his build and athleticism figure to be problems in coverage at the next level. Though he could rotate in at safety or at nickel and contribute on special teams, his playmaking skills simply might not translate."

Yahoo! Sports: C-

"The Jaguars need to hit on their picks, because they’re mostly running back the same team that lost in the wild-card round. Huskey feels rich here, but maybe he works out."

CBS Sports: C+

"Husky has played both corner and safety throughout his career and the Jaguars obviously coveted that versatility. He's probably too limited an athlete to stick at corner full-time in the NFL, though."
