The Jaguars turned the phones into found money: B. The war room fell hard for Stephen Dix Jr., and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 127 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
Landing Fifita that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick58
Rnd2
Michael Taaffe
A quiet steal in slot 58: Michael Taaffe for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74
Rnd3
Max Klare
Taking Max Klare in the 74th pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Carson Beck
They let Carson Beck come to them and pounced at pick 90. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse in Round 3, Pick 27 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100
Rnd3
Evan Stewart
They left a pile of value on the table to take Evan Stewart this early at the 100th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Fair-plus on Domani Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142
Rnd5
Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott at the 142nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Lander Barton
They took Lander Barton at par in the 149th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick165
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
They paid a round early for Patrick Payton in pick 165, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick183
Rnd6
Connor Tollison
They will replay Connor Tollison at pick No. 183 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191
Rnd6
Tristan Leigh
No edge and no loss on Tristan Leigh in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198
Rnd6
Trey Moore
Trey Moore at slot 198 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick213
Rnd6
Akheem Mesidor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Akheem Mesidor in Round 6, Pick 37, miles early. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick217
Rnd7
TJ Metcalf
TJ Metcalf in No. 217 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick222
Rnd7
Noah Fifita
Circle this one: Noah Fifita at pick 222 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223
Rnd7
Conner Weigman
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Conner Weigman in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
A real head-scratcher, Keaten Wade in slot 230 is miles ahead of his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jack Velling
Jack Velling in Round 7, Pick 23 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson in the 243rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245
Rnd7
Stephen Dix Jr.
Stephen Dix Jr. at pick No. 245 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
