FutureB-
The Jaguars worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The Jaguars treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending pick No. 217 on Xavian Sorey Jr. a full 86 spots early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Allen. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick58
Rnd2
Michael Taaffe
A slide stopped in the 58th pick, with Michael Taaffe worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at the 74th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at pick No. 90 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91
Rnd3
CJ Allen
Circle this one: CJ Allen at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jaden Greathouse
They went early on Jaden Greathouse in slot 100, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110
Rnd4
Carson Beck
You do not let a quarterback like Carson Beck reach No. 110 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jack Endries
The board fumbled Jack Endries all the way to pick No. 142, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
Lander Barton
Lander Barton in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183
Rnd6
Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in No. 183 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jack Velling
Jack Velling at slot 191 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198
Rnd6
J.Michael Sturdivant
No drama and no debate, J.Michael Sturdivant went about where he belonged in pick 198. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217
Rnd7
Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. in the 217th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick222
Rnd7
TJ Metcalf
A reach for TJ Metcalf in the 222nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223
Rnd7
Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in Round 7, Pick 7 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick230
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
A wild overpay on Keaten Wade in pick 230, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick239
Rnd7
Diego Pavia
They barely believed it either: Diego Pavia still on the board at No. 239. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick243
Rnd7
Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes in the 243rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jason Henderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jason Henderson in pick No. 245, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
