FutureB
The Jaguars won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Jaguars took Xavian Sorey Jr. a full 110 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Lew falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick64
Rnd2
Connor Lew
You do not let an offensive lineman like Connor Lew reach pick No. 64 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
Keith Abney II
Fair-plus on Keith Abney II, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick96
Rnd3
C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121
Rnd4
Austin Romaine
They reached into another round for Austin Romaine, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122
Rnd4
Carson Beck
Value with a capital V on Carson Beck in No. 122, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in the 123rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132
Rnd4
Zachariah Branch
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zachariah Branch in pick No. 132. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135
Rnd4
Eric Rivers
They went early on Eric Rivers in No. 135, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140
Rnd4
Blake Miller
They did well to land Blake Miller in the 140th pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161
Rnd5
Justin Joly
They read the board right and Justin Joly was the payoff at pick 161. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163
Rnd5
Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the 163rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jahiem White
They took Jahiem White at par in Round 7, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222
Rnd7
Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at slot 222 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick228
Rnd7
DeAndre Moore Jr.
DeAndre Moore Jr. at pick No. 228 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233
Rnd7
Noah Fifita
Noah Fifita slipping to the 233rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jack Velling
Value said wait; Jack Velling in No. 245 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
They liked Bear Alexander enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 31. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Reid Carrico
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Reid Carrico well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Xavian Sorey Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavian Sorey Jr. in the Round 7 slot, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252
Rnd7
Alex Birchmeier
Alex Birchmeier at slot 252 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
