FutureB
The Jaguars worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The Jason Henderson selection is the head-turner. The Jaguars reached 139 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
The Slaughter steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick64
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
They robbed the room for Jake Slaughter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
They went early on Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 81, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88
Rnd3
Skyler Bell
Nothing to complain about; Skyler Bell went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Kaytron Allen
They took Kaytron Allen at par in the 100th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick106
Rnd4
Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at pick 106 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore slipping to Round 4, Pick 24 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126
Rnd4
Hezekiah Masses
Hezekiah Masses in pick No. 126 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138
Rnd4
Beau Stephens
No edge and no loss on Beau Stephens in pick 138; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick141
Rnd5
Kage Casey
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kage Casey. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick162
Rnd5
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in No. 162 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Patrick Payton well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick220
Rnd7
Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander in slot 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Diego Pavia
They liked Diego Pavia enough to skip the value, taking him in the 225th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228
Rnd7
Joe Fagnano
Value said wait; Joe Fagnano in the 228th overall pick says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232
Rnd7
Keyshaun Elliott
Circle this one: Keyshaun Elliott at pick No. 232 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jack Pyburn
They reached into another round for Jack Pyburn, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
They reached a country mile for Logan Taylor at slot 239, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
Fair-plus on Eli Heidenreich, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson in Round 7, Pick 31 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250
Rnd7
Jack Kelly
A reach for Jack Kelly in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
They let Trey Zuhn III come to them and pounced at the 256th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
