Grand theft in slot 249: the Jaguars steal Lovett and grade out a B-.

When a board-topper like Dominic Lovett slides to the 249th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Jaguars did not. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

With linebacker, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 28th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. Need was not the driver here.
Pick60 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
No edge and no loss on Byron Murphy II in the 60th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 28. Linebacker, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; an edge rusher in Chris Braswell did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They paid sticker price for Andrew Mukuba in No. 96, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Graham Barton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Graham Barton reach pick No. 119 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick128 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at pick 128 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malachi Moore at the Round 5 slot is the proof. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at slot 206 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick211 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
The board fumbled Raheim Sanders all the way to pick 211, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
They barely believed it either: Dominic Lovett still on the board at the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
