FutureB-
The Jaguars worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Xavian Sorey Jr. in pick No. 222, a good 80 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The Greathouse steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick58
Rnd2
Michael Taaffe
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Michael Taaffe for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74
Rnd3
Mansoor Delane
No edge and no loss on Mansoor Delane in the 74th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malachi Fields in slot 90. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91
Rnd3
Carson Beck
The board had Carson Beck higher than the 91st overall pick, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jack Endries
Jack Endries in pick 100 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. is a better player than Round 4, Pick 8 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick142
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
A tidy bit of business in No. 142, where Bryce Boettcher graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149
Rnd5
Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at pick 149 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse at the 165th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184
Rnd6
De'Zhaun Stribling
They took De'Zhaun Stribling at par in the 184th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191
Rnd6
Barion Brown
Barion Brown in slot 191 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick198
Rnd6
Noah Fifita
They will replay Noah Fifita at Round 6, Pick 22 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213
Rnd6
TJ Metcalf
They talked themselves into TJ Metcalf at pick No. 213, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217
Rnd7
Tony Grimes
Value said wait; Tony Grimes in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219
Rnd7
Alex Birchmeier
Alex Birchmeier at the 219th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Xavian Sorey Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavian Sorey Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230
Rnd7
Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker in Round 7, Pick 14 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239
Rnd7
Akheem Mesidor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Akheem Mesidor this early at slot 239. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick243
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade at No. 243 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson in the 245th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
