The 12th, yeah.
The 12th ranked tight end in the class.
And he was the third tight end off the board.
Then they took another tight end from Houston later in the draft as well, who's another reach.
Albert Regis, a defensive tackle, who they picked in the third round, pick 81.
We had him ranked 250th.
Yeah.
So it was just a lot of just kind of reaches and picking guys that maybe they felt confident with would be great fits for them.
We'll see if it plays out that way, but just from an overall drafting standpoint, they could have did better.
The last takeaway here is I mentioned earlier that we scouted 414 players, and the Jaguars took three of them that we didn't look at.
Yep.
Yeah, I think that's kind of what their strategy was and what it looked like, right?
It looks like they had guys they had cherry picked that feel like that they can fit their system well.
Feels like that they're kind of exact fits for how they want to play on the offensive and defensive side of the ball.
And if it works out for them, great.
But just kind of from an overall meta perspective, when you're kind of looking at a marketplace of prospects in a draft, they definitely left some value to be had.
Yeah, from a helping Justin Herbert standpoint, they drafted a center Jake Slaughter from Florida in the second round there to add some depth to the offensive line.
I guess to indirectly help Justin Herbert, getting Akeem Mesidor at pick 22 was certainly a steal.
Getting him to sit behind Khalil Mack and Tui Tui Pelotu for a bit.
um, refine his, uh, kind of, kind of his motors there, his motors, their strengths there, um, develop a little bit more of a repertoire there with some pass rush moves and, uh, get a little bit more disciplined on the edge and he'll be able to, to fit in well.
