Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 4: the Jaguars steal Brooks and grade out a A.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tahj Brooks got past him. The Jaguars do not have to explain a thing at the Round 7 slot.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Mason Graham and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Mason Graham in pick No. 11 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick34 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in the 34th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick65 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Bond at No. 65 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 3, Pick 28 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
They will replay Tyler Warren at pick 128 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jay Higgins in slot 139, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at the 178th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Parker Brailsford
You do not let an offensive lineman like Parker Brailsford reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. is a better player than Round 7, Pick 2 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Taking Tahj Brooks in No. 218 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
