Draft Grade — Jaguars
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureC
The Jaguars let Bisontis fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

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 Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In the 30th overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick81 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Somehow Josiah Trotter was still sitting there in slot 81, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Chase Bisontis
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.
Pick100 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Value said wait; Caden Curry in pick No. 100 says they were not listening. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick124 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick166 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
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.
Pick170 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
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.
Pick203 Rnd6 Reggie Virgil
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.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black in pick 233 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 TJ Hall
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.
Pick245 Rnd7 Owen Heinecke
No drama and no debate, Owen Heinecke went about where he belonged in No. 245. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
