Jaguars' Draft Picks: Lowest-Ranked Class, High Hopes

0:00It's April 27th. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI Your Grid Iron Update. I'm Cory with the story.

They didn't pick until number 56, grabbing Texas A&M tied in Nate Bohrcatcher, a blocking specialist with just 38 catches and four. In 17 yards over five college seasons, many saw him as a later round guy, which raised eyebrows right away. Earlier this week, the Jags kept picking. Landing Oregon Interior Offensive Lime Man, a manual pregnant at number 88. That one got praised as solid value, since some had him paid for the second round, a potential starter for their line down the line. Fans and media are filling it overall though. Out of 24 graders, the Jaguars ranked dead last with a weighted GPA of 1.39, the lowest score across all teams.

1:01They added Baylor-wide receiver Josh Cameron in the sixth round, a versatile guy who led the nation in putt return yards per return at 20 point. Seven last year, plus he's a tough blocker. But doubling up on receivers later with a projected undrafted free agent felt like a step back to critics. Some will tell if General Manager James Gladstone nailed this class.
