The Jaguars cashed the board's mistake on Milton III: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Joe Milton III at No. 195 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Jaguars indulged a want in Smith while a need in safety and linebacker stayed open. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

If Smith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Keon Coleman in the 48th overall pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 79th pick on Maason Smith with safety and linebacker unsolved.
Pick96 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A straight-up fair deal on Zak Zinter at No. 96, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They paid sticker price for Leonard Taylor III in slot 114, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 116. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick155 Rnd5 Cam Hart
They will replay Cam Hart at Round 5, Pick 19 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
You do not let a quarterback like Joe Milton III reach pick No. 195 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211 Rnd6 Erick All
They took Erick All at par in the 211th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Taking Jase McClellan in pick 237 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
