FutureB-
The Jaguars won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B. The Jaguars did not so much draft Anthony Smith as overpay for him, 102 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Getting Moore where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
The Jaguars paired the rookies with proven help, Riley Moss leading the way.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick64
Rnd2
Sammy Brown
Sammy Brown at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81
Rnd3
LJ Martin
This one needs a full-page explanation: LJ Martin in pick No. 81, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88
Rnd3
Josh Hoover
They took Josh Hoover at par in pick 88, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92
Rnd3
Cooper Barkate
A wild overpay on Cooper Barkate in the 92nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93
Rnd3
Jayden Jackson
A big swing on Jayden Jackson at the 93rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94
Rnd3
Koi Perich
They left a pile of value on the table to take Koi Perich this early at No. 94. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96
Rnd3
Taylor Wein
Taylor Wein in No. 96 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick100
Rnd3
Zach Lutmer
They liked Zach Lutmer enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 100. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124
Rnd4
Whit Weeks
A conviction pick on Whit Weeks at the 124th pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136
Rnd4
Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige at slot 136 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162
Rnd5
Braelin Moore
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Braelin Moore for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163
Rnd5
C.J. Fite
They reached into another round for C.J. Fite, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick164
Rnd5
Benjamin Brahmer
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Benjamin Brahmer well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick220
Rnd7
Chris Marshall
Chris Marshall in Round 7, Pick 4 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228
Rnd7
Austin Romaine
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Austin Romaine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233
Rnd7
Anthony Smith
A real head-scratcher, Anthony Smith in pick No. 233 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Monroe Mills
A premium they did not need to pay, Monroe Mills a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick241
Rnd7
Shamar Porter
The board had cheaper options than Shamar Porter at No. 241, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jahiem White
They talked themselves into Jahiem White at Round 7, Pick 29, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246
Rnd7
DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney at the 246th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247
Rnd7
Amare Campbell
Amare Campbell at the 247th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Evan Stewart
No drama and no debate, Evan Stewart went about where he belonged in slot 251. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255
Rnd7
Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott in the 255th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
