The rest of the league will want that one back. D'Angelo Ponds tumbling to the Jaguars in pick No. 100 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.4 · Pick 36 · Peter Woods · DT · rank 30
Peter Woods at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Keyron Crawford · DE-EDGE · rank 89
Keyron Crawford in the 84th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.24 · Pick 88 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 40
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 88th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.36 · Pick 100 · D'Angelo Ponds · CB · rank 48
Taking D'Angelo Ponds in slot 100 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Keylan Rutledge · OG · rank 79
Keylan Rutledge in pick 124 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.26 · Pick 166 · Kaytron Allen · RB · rank 149
Nice patience on Kaytron Allen, who had no business lasting to No. 166. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.28 · Pick 168 · Kage Casey · OT · rank 161
A tidy little value on Kage Casey in Round 5, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.22 · Pick 203 · Justin Jefferson · LB · rank 209
Justin Jefferson in pick No. 203 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.17 · Pick 233 · Aiden Fisher · LB · rank 240
A straight-up fair deal on Aiden Fisher at the 233rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.24 · Pick 240 · Chase Roberts · WR · rank 219
The board fumbled Chase Roberts all the way to slot 240, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.29 · Pick 245 · Miles Kitselman · TE · rank 234
Miles Kitselman at the 245th pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
R7.39 · Pick 255 · Toriano Pride Jr. · CB · rank 216
Steal is underselling it; Toriano Pride Jr. at pick 255 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
