Jacksonville Jaguars

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jaguars and Klein: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Marlin Klein, the No. 159 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.24 · Pick 56 · Anthony Hill Jr. · LB · rank 38
Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 56 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Lee Hunter · DT · rank 49
Lee Hunter in the 83rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.24 · Pick 88 · Malachi Lawrence · DE-EDGE · rank 55
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Malachi Lawrence in the 88th pick, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.36 · Pick 100 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 58
Taking Jake Slaughter in pick 100 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Zakee Wheatley · S · rank 90
A safety of that caliber at slot 124 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
R5.26 · Pick 166 · Kage Casey · OT · rank 161
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 26 with a little surplus value in Kage Casey. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.29 · Pick 169 · Charles Demmings · CB · rank 150
They will replay Charles Demmings at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.22 · Pick 203 · Marlin Klein · TE · rank 159
Marlin Klein at pick No. 203 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.17 · Pick 233 · Thaddeus Dixon · CB · rank 228
Thaddeus Dixon at the 233rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.24 · Pick 240 · Brandon Cleveland · DT · rank 229
Brandon Cleveland slid further than he should have, and No. 240 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.29 · Pick 245 · Jaydn Ott · RB · rank 248
A straight-up fair deal on Jaydn Ott at the 245th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
