The Jets leave the weekend clear winners: A-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Jalen Thompson; the Jets did not wait, grabbing him 45 spots ahead at the Round 7 slot.
However the rest shakes out, Iamaleava at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
In the end it comes back to Caleb Downs, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the 4th pick they get a downhill hitter at safety. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In pick 18 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at the 35th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick45
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 45 with a little surplus value in Sonny Styles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick176
Rnd5
Drew Allar
They barely believed it either: Drew Allar still on the board at Round 5, Pick 37. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Good price on Davison Igbinosun in No. 178, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205
Rnd6
Nico Iamaleava
Steal is underselling it; Nico Iamaleava at the 205th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in Round 7, Pick 4 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240
Rnd7
Brandon Inniss
They jumped the gun on Brandon Inniss, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
They took Bear Alexander at par in pick 255, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jalen Thompson
Jalen Thompson at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
