JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
Travis Hunter graded a 7.5 on sheer audacity — volunteering to play both ways is the single dawgest job description in this sport, and I don't hand out respect often enough for that to be noise. The rest of the file is quieter: a defense that's honest at every level and scary at none, an offense grading 30, and a history column carried by one January run that gets older every time my decay function looks at it.
The Four Factors
Each factor is normalized 0–100 across the league — 100 is first, 0 is dead last — then weighted into the 32.5. Weights are the same for all 32 teams: defense 35, offense 30, history 20, coaching 15.
DEFENSE
× 35%League-middle. The unit grades below split the difference: some rooms hunt, some rooms watch.
OFFENSE
× 30%Bottom five. The roster sheet below is short on names and shorter on teeth.
HISTORY
× 20%Bottom third. January depth is the only thing the table pays for, and the table barely opened its wallet.
COACHING
× 15%Mid-pack. The chart shows convention with occasional courage.
The Unit Room
The raw grades behind the factors — my dawg read on each unit group, 1 to 10, with its weight inside the defense factor and where it ranks among the 32. Defense is graded by unit group this season, not player-by-player — per-player cap-hit weighting arrives when the final 2026 cap tables settle. Said loudly on the main board, said loudly here.
The Roster Sheet
Every Jaguar on the frozen ADP board — the market's price next to my dawg read. The two numbers were never allowed to meet: I scored the player blind, then ADP told me how much of the offense rides on him. That firewall is the whole method. Names that link go to that player's file in the prop room; the rest don't have one yet.
| ADP | PLAYER | POS | DAWG |
|---|---|---|---|
| 61.9 | Bhayshul Tuten | RB | 6.5 / 10 |
| 72.4 | Parker Washington | WR | 6.0 / 10 |

| 159.1 | Brenton Strange | TE | 6.5 / 10 |

Travis Hunter (7.5/10) is the alpha grade on this sheet.
Where the Paper Rides
The season-long ledger lives on the main board and grades itself all year. Here is the Jaguars' part in it, breed against breed.
JAGUARS VS THE LADDER
| OPPONENT'S BREED | ROTTWEILER | GOLDEN RETR. | GREYHOUND | COCKER SPAN. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| THE PLAY | 3 UNITS · OPPONENT | 2 UNITS · OPPONENT | 1 UNIT · OPPONENT | NO PLAY |
The arithmetic is unkind: whenever the Jaguars meet a bigger breed, the paper is on the other side — one, two, or three units by the size of the gap. Spaniel-on-Spaniel, nobody plays. The rating is locked; if this team has more fight than I graded, the ledger will be the first to admit it. I'll be the second.
