The Jets robbed the room for Shough. Final grade: B. When a board-topper like Tyler Shough slides to No. 198, you do not overthink it, and the Jets did not.
Every board in the league had Hemingway lower, and that gap is the story. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Jets clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick42
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 42nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 58 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Nice patience on Malachi Moore, who had no business lasting to slot 109. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Taking Jared Wilson in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick158
Rnd5
Tory Horton
They barely believed it either: Tory Horton still on the board at Round 5, Pick 19. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
Somehow Jeffrey Bassa was still sitting there in the 165th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick193
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
Quietly one of the better values of the day, JJ Pegues at pick 193. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Tyler Shough
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Shough at No. 198 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199
Rnd6
Antwane Wells Jr.
The board had Antwane Wells Jr. higher than the Round 6 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209
Rnd6
CJ West
CJ West at the 209th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at Round 6, Pick 37 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Circle this one: Ollie Gordon II at slot 216 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in pick No. 246 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick249
Rnd7
Logan Parr
A straight-up fair deal on Logan Parr at pick 249, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
A running back of that caliber at No. 253 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
