Larceny in the 73rd pick lands the Jets a B-, Fannin Jr. and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Harold Fannin Jr. had no business being available in slot 73, and the Jets did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Briningstool reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 7 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 42nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They robbed the room for Harold Fannin Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick119 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Good price on Anthony Belton in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 145 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A reasonable price with a little left over, Pat Bryant in No. 153. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
They paid up for Jake Briningstool at slot 162 when waiting would have done the job. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 186th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Karene Reid
No edge and no loss on Karene Reid in Round 6, Pick 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
