Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets cashed the board's mistake on Riley: B-.

The Jets spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Quincy Riley, the No. 177 name on the board, in the 209th overall pick.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Fannin Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A reach for Harold Fannin Jr. in slot 42; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 92 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams slipping to pick 109 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Nice patience on Emery Jones Jr., who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the 157th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Fair-plus on Cobee Bryant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in No. 209 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
