The Jets cashed the board's mistake on Hood: B. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Colton Hood slide 37 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Castell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chris Brazzell II in pick No. 18. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick38
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
Value with a capital V on Kenyon Sadiq in the 38th overall pick, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick47
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter slid further than he should have, and slot 47 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104
Rnd4
Colton Hood
Steal is underselling it; Colton Hood at No. 104 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177
Rnd5
Drew Allar
You do not let a quarterback like Drew Allar reach pick 177 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194
Rnd6
Lander Barton
Lander Barton at Round 6, Pick 14 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick203
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at the 203rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick212
Rnd6
Quinten Joyner
The board had cheaper options than Quinten Joyner at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jordan Castell
They liked Jordan Castell enough to skip the value, taking him in the 218th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
