FutureB
The Jaguars turned the phones into found money: B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jack Velling, 45 picks early at pick 256. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The McAlister steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The veteran additions, Ernest Jones chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
On the needs board they went 9 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick64
Rnd2
Romello Height
By-the-book stuff, Romello Height at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75
Rnd3
Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in the 75th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
Ted Hurst
No drama and no debate, Ted Hurst went about where he belonged in the 88th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Keylan Rutledge
They read the board right and Keylan Rutledge was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 25. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91
Rnd3
Treydan Stukes
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Treydan Stukes in pick No. 91, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Keyshaun Elliott
Value said wait; Keyshaun Elliott in pick 100 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124
Rnd4
Genesis Smith
Nice patience on Genesis Smith, who had no business lasting to the 124th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126
Rnd4
Brian Parker II
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brian Parker II at No. 126 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
Kaytron Allen
A wild overpay on Kaytron Allen in pick 127, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick130
Rnd4
Cade Klubnik
A reach for Cade Klubnik in slot 130; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick166
Rnd5
Kage Casey
Nothing to complain about; Kage Casey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168
Rnd5
Zane Durant
The board had cheaper options than Zane Durant at Round 5, Pick 28, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick224
Rnd7
Landon Robinson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Landon Robinson in pick No. 224. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226
Rnd7
Eric McAlister
Circle this one: Eric McAlister at pick 226 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick227
Rnd7
Aiden Fisher
Aiden Fisher at No. 227 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228
Rnd7
Lander Barton
They jumped the gun on Lander Barton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick230
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at pick No. 230 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246
Rnd7
Josh Moten
Josh Moten at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252
Rnd7
Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander in slot 252 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jack Velling
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jack Velling this early at the 256th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
No edge and no loss on Nolan Rucci in the 257th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
