FutureD-
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a D+ weekend for the Jets. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Jets shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Too much went sideways, and the D+ is the honest tally.
Whatever Shedeur Sanders becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Higgins has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
The Warren value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
No edge and no loss on Shedeur Sanders in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick42
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at No. 42 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick70
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
They liked Ozzy Trapilo enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 6. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals slid further than he should have, and the 73rd pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
A clean, defensible pick in pick 110 with a little surplus value in Jordan Phillips. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145
Rnd5
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They paid up for Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 145th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at slot 162 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
A reach on Jay Higgins in pick No. 186; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick207
Rnd6
Upton Stout
They robbed the room for Upton Stout here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
