Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 31: the Jets steal Allen and grade out a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how LeQuint Allen got past him. The Jets do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot.

Reaching for Broughton left real value on the table behind him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
They paid sticker price for Kelvin Banks Jr. in slot 7, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick42 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the 42nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick No. 73. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick110 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in pick 110 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Somehow Darius Alexander was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at No. 162 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 10 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in the 207th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
