Grand theft in No. 129: the Jaguars steal Lawson and grade out a C.

The Jaguars spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Deontae Lawson, the No. 85 name on the board, in pick 129. Call it a C and check back in two years.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Jackson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 5 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick 36 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A wild overpay on Donovan Jackson in the 67th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They did well to land Darrell Jackson Jr. in Round 3, Pick 27, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jake Majors
No edge and no loss on Jake Majors in the 92nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
They robbed the room for Deontae Lawson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in slot 144, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
Circle this one: Nicholas Singleton at pick 148 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
