No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Jaguars.

The tape said wait; the Jaguars did not. Jude Bowry went at slot 81, a good 41 picks before the board was ready.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. However the rest shakes out, Bell at that price is a win they earned. On the needs board they went 3 of 9, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Chris Bell
Chris Bell is a better player than slot 56 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jude Bowry
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jude Bowry this early at the 81st pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jaishawn Barham
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaishawn Barham. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
