FutureB
The Jaguars turned the phones into found money: B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Leroy Jackson, 63 picks early at No. 250. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Alexander falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
The veteran additions, Ricky Pearsall chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Will Heldt
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all.
Pick63
Rnd2
Sammy Brown
Value with a capital V on Sammy Brown in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick89
Rnd3
Zach Lutmer
Zach Lutmer at the 89th pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick96
Rnd3
Bear Alexander
Steal is underselling it; Bear Alexander at the 96th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick103
Rnd4
Whit Weeks
A big swing on Whit Weeks at pick 103, well ahead of any board in the building. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick128
Rnd4
Josh Hoover
Josh Hoover at slot 128 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
Pick130
Rnd4
Zeke Berry
Zeke Berry in the 130th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick158
Rnd5
Marcus Neal Jr.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Marcus Neal Jr. in No. 158, plain and simple. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick161
Rnd5
Shadre Hurst
Nice patience on Shadre Hurst, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 22. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164
Rnd5
Kemari Copeland
A premium they did not need to pay, Kemari Copeland a notch or two before his time. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Cam Cook
Cam Cook at slot 170 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick193
Rnd6
Jacob Ponton
Jacob Ponton at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick229
Rnd7
Javon Tracy
Javon Tracy at pick No. 229 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick230
Rnd7
Benjamin Brahmer
By-the-book stuff, Benjamin Brahmer at the 230th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick236
Rnd7
Dylan Raiola
A wild overpay on Dylan Raiola in pick 236, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick237
Rnd7
Tao Johnson
Tao Johnson at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick245
Rnd7
Matt Rose
Matt Rose in the 245th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick246
Rnd7
Evan Link
This one needs a full-page explanation: Evan Link in slot 246, miles early. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick247
Rnd7
Collin Dixon
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Collin Dixon at the 247th pick is the proof. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick250
Rnd7
Leroy Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Leroy Jackson. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
