FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Jaguars this weekend: B. Some picks age like wine; Jason Henderson at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 142 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They banked enough surplus on Slaughter to cover a lot of smaller sins. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.
Pick Analysis
Pick64
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
Fair-plus on Omar Cooper Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
They went early on Jacob Rodriguez in No. 85, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93
Rnd3
Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at the 93rd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124
Rnd4
Hezekiah Masses
They took Hezekiah Masses at par in Round 4, Pick 24, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125
Rnd4
Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in the 125th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jakobe Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Jakobe Thomas at pick No. 126, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick128
Rnd4
Chris McClellan
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris McClellan. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
No edge and no loss on Bryce Boettcher in the 162nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163
Rnd5
Kage Casey
They will replay Kage Casey at slot 163 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick164
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
They reached into another round for Patrick Payton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick200
Rnd6
Sawyer Robertson
By-the-book stuff, Sawyer Robertson at Round 6, Pick 21 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick232
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at the 232nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jack Pyburn
Value said wait; Jack Pyburn in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick239
Rnd7
Cole Payton
They did well to land Cole Payton in No. 239, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241
Rnd7
Joe Fagnano
Joe Fagnano at the 241st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick243
Rnd7
Aiden Fisher
Aiden Fisher at slot 243 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244
Rnd7
Jason Henderson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jason Henderson in pick 244, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245
Rnd7
Owen Heinecke
No drama and no debate, Owen Heinecke went about where he belonged in the 245th overall pick. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick247
Rnd7
Aidan Hubbard
Aidan Hubbard at Round 7, Pick 31 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick250
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keaten Wade well ahead of where he belonged. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick256
Rnd7
Deven Eastern
Deven Eastern at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
