FutureB
The Jaguars bled value on every deal, hence the C. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Aidan Hubbard, 120 picks early at the 245th overall pick. It nets out a thoroughly average C.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Slaughter steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
The Jaguars clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. On the needs board they went 9 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
So much rides on Jacob Rodriguez that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick67
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
They paid up for Jacob Rodriguez at the 67th pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Jake Slaughter for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81
Rnd3
Markel Bell
They talked themselves into Markel Bell at slot 81, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell in pick No. 83 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94
Rnd3
Jack Endries
A conviction pick on Jack Endries at Round 3, Pick 30 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100
Rnd3
Genesis Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Genesis Smith in the 100th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102
Rnd4
Chandler Rivers
Value with a capital V on Chandler Rivers in Round 4, Pick 2, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127
Rnd4
Kaytron Allen
They paid a round early for Kaytron Allen in pick No. 127, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
They took Bryce Boettcher at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202
Rnd6
Patrick Payton
Value said wait; Patrick Payton in the 202nd overall pick says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick203
Rnd6
Keyshaun Elliott
A reach for Keyshaun Elliott in pick 203; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239
Rnd7
Diego Pavia
No edge and no loss on Diego Pavia in slot 239; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241
Rnd7
Cole Payton
Fair-plus on Cole Payton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jack Kelly
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jack Kelly this early at the 243rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244
Rnd7
Deven Eastern
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Deven Eastern. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick245
Rnd7
Aidan Hubbard
They reached into another round for Aidan Hubbard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick246
Rnd7
Logan Taylor
A real head-scratcher, Logan Taylor in the 246th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich in pick 247 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256
Rnd7
Nolan Rucci
A straight-up fair deal on Nolan Rucci at the 256th pick, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257
Rnd7
Joe Fagnano
A wild overpay on Joe Fagnano in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
