FutureB-
The Jaguars kept it disciplined and banked a B. The Jaguars looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Ethan Downs at No. 221 regardless, 63 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
Landing Ransom that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Mason Graham
They took Mason Graham at par in slot 5, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nick Emmanwori at the 36th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
Good price on Cameron Williams in the 70th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick 102 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
A conviction pick on Jacob Parrish at Round 4, Pick 5 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in No. 126 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Taking Jordan Phillips in slot 130 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick142
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick182
Rnd6
Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool slid further than he should have, and No. 182 is lovely value for the tight end. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick No. 194 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick221
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
A real head-scratcher, Ethan Downs in Round 7, Pick 5 is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
