The Jets cashed the board's mistake on James: B. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jordan James, the No. 117 name on the board, stolen at No. 145. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
Every board in the league had Lachey lower, and that gap is the story. It is not that Mondon Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Jets had louder needs to answer first.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
No drama and no debate, Aireontae Ersery went about where he belonged in No. 42. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Nice patience on Demetrius Knight Jr., who had no business lasting to pick No. 73. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick110
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
A surprising call. With quarterback, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent pick 110 on Smael Mondon Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jordan James
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jordan James in Round 5, Pick 7, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
Value with a capital V on O'Donnell Fortune in slot 162, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the 186th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick207
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at the 207th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
