The Jaguars won the night they stopped Roush from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Jaguars did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Sam Roush fell into pick No. 124. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
The Barham reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
It is not that Barham is a bad player; it is that the Jaguars had louder needs to answer first.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
No drama and no debate, Germie Bernard went about where he belonged in the 56th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dani Dennis-Sutton. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Drew Shelton at slot 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A want over a need in the 100th overall pick: Jaishawn Barham adds an edge rusher while interior defensive lineman, cornerback and other spots keeps waiting.
You do not let a tight end like Sam Roush reach No. 124 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
