Quarterback settled, Mendoza in the fold, and a B for the Jaguars. The rest of the league had time to spare on Chase Roberts; the Jaguars did not wait, grabbing him 117 spots ahead at pick No. 32. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
So much rides on Fernando Mendoza that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
However the rest shakes out, Mendoza at that price is a win they earned. The veteran additions, Joe Burrow chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
