The Jaguars let Gordon II fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ollie Gordon II, slot 229, roughly 77 picks past where he belonged.
Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. The Jaguars indulged a want in Tuimoloau while a need in quarterback and tight end stayed open. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 1st overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Abdul Carter
They will replay Abdul Carter at pick 35 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick66
Rnd3
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
Circle this one: Dylan Fairchild at Round 3, Pick 28 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 129 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131
Rnd4
JT Tuimoloau
They zigged when the board said zag, taking JT Tuimoloau at edge rusher with quarterback and tight end open.
Pick141
Rnd5
Riley Mahlman
Steal is underselling it; Riley Mahlman at pick No. 141 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178
Rnd6
J.Michael Sturdivant
They reached into another round for J.Michael Sturdivant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa slipping to pick 193 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at No. 196 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 3 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229
Rnd7
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 229th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
