Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jaguars and Freeling: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Jaguars were there to profit. Monroe Freeling, the No. 113 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 165. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at the 40th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in slot 88 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in pick 89 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
They will replay Keith Abney II at No. 100 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
They barely believed it either: Genesis Smith still on the board at the 126th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling in Round 5, Pick 26 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
The board had Brett Norfleet higher than the Round 7 slot, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at pick No. 239 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
By-the-book stuff, Ethan O'Connor at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
