FutureB-
The Jaguars won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Jaguars took Stephen Dix Jr. a full 133 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Branch. 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. The Jaguars paired the rookies with proven help, Dawson Knox leading the way.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick58
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
They robbed the room for Dillon Thieneman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74
Rnd3
Mansoor Delane
They took Mansoor Delane at par in the 74th pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Domani Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Domani Jackson a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91
Rnd3
Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at Round 3, Pick 27 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100
Rnd3
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at the 100th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jack Endries
Nice patience on Jack Endries, who had no business lasting to pick No. 110. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick141
Rnd5
Charles Jagusah
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 3 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142
Rnd5
Fernando Mendoza
Fernando Mendoza in No. 142 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149
Rnd5
Desmond Reid
No drama and no debate, Desmond Reid went about where he belonged in slot 149. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165
Rnd5
Rasheem Biles
They paid sticker price for Rasheem Biles in pick 165, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick183
Rnd6
Dane Key
The board fumbled Dane Key all the way to the 183rd pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jack Velling
They talked themselves into Jack Velling at the 191st overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Noah Fifita
Steal is underselling it; Noah Fifita at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215
Rnd6
Alex Birchmeier
Alex Birchmeier at pick No. 215 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217
Rnd7
TJ Metcalf
A reach on TJ Metcalf in the 217th pick; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jason Henderson
Value said wait; Jason Henderson in Round 7, Pick 6 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223
Rnd7
Xavian Sorey Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavian Sorey Jr.. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224
Rnd7
Diego Pavia
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Diego Pavia in pick No. 224, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230
Rnd7
Reid Carrico
This one needs a full-page explanation: Reid Carrico in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239
Rnd7
Stephen Dix Jr.
They reached into another round for Stephen Dix Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade at No. 243 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick245
Rnd7
Austin Siereveld
They paid a round early for Austin Siereveld in pick 245, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
