Grand theft in Round 3, Pick 33: the Jets steal Lew and grade out a A-. When a board-topper like Connor Lew slides to the 97th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Jets did not. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.
The cost of the Grimes reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The George Pickens deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
Bottom line, with Arvell Reese leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jermod McCoy
In pick 16 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20
Rnd1
Kayden McDonald
In pick No. 20 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
A quiet steal in the 33rd overall pick: Kenyon Sadiq for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick49
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 17 with a little surplus value in Emmanuel Pregnon. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97
Rnd3
Connor Lew
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in the 97th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nicholas Singleton at slot 103. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at No. 162 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175
Rnd5
Bud Clark
They paid up for Bud Clark at No. 175 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick179
Rnd5
Trey Zuhn III
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193
Rnd6
De'Zhaun Stribling
They talked themselves into De'Zhaun Stribling at the 193rd pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207
Rnd6
Barion Brown
A straight-up fair deal on Barion Brown at pick 207, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels at slot 211 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218
Rnd7
Tony Grimes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tony Grimes this early at the Round 7 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242
Rnd7
PJ Williams
PJ Williams in the 242nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
