Call it larceny. Chase Bisontis sat on the board until Round 3, Pick 24, and the Jaguars did not need to be asked twice. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will need Curry to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Peter Woods · DT · rank 30
In the 30th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Josiah Trotter · LB · rank 60
Somehow Josiah Trotter was still sitting there in slot 81, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It fills a real need, too.
R3.24 · Pick 88 · Chase Bisontis · OG · rank 53
Chase Bisontis at No. 88 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.36 · Pick 100 · Caden Curry · DE-EDGE · rank 132
Value said wait; Caden Curry in pick No. 100 says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Zakee Wheatley · S · rank 90
Zakee Wheatley at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.26 · Pick 166 · Charles Demmings · CB · rank 150
Charles Demmings is a better player than pick 166 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.30 · Pick 170 · Marlin Klein · TE · rank 159
A quiet steal in the 170th pick: Marlin Klein for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.22 · Pick 203 · Reggie Virgil · WR · rank 169
They robbed the room for Reggie Virgil here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.17 · Pick 233 · Kaelon Black · RB · rank 226
Kaelon Black in pick 233 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
R7.24 · Pick 240 · TJ Hall · CB · rank 232
The board had TJ Hall higher than the 240th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.29 · Pick 245 · Owen Heinecke · LB · rank 249
No drama and no debate, Owen Heinecke went about where he belonged in No. 245. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
