The Jaguars spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Reggie Virgil, the No. 167 name on the board, in pick No. 203.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Kamara has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.
Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 24th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Steal is underselling it; Christen Miller at the 84th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Mike Washington Jr. at slot 100 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They talked themselves into Mikail Kamara at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. A minor need, but a need all the same.
A quiet steal in pick No. 164: Charles Demmings for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
No edge and no loss on Louis Moore in pick 166; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Reggie Virgil in No. 203 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They read the board right and Thaddeus Dixon was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 17. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Somehow Jimmy Rolder was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 24, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It fills a real need, too.
Miles Kitselman in No. 245 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
A clean, defensible pick in the 255th overall pick with a little surplus value in Miller Moss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
