FutureA
The Jets robbed the room for Allar. Final grade: B. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Drew Allar, No. 194, roughly 36 picks past where he belonged.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They are betting White proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the 12th overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In No. 18 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Caleb Banks
Nice patience on Caleb Banks, who had no business lasting to the 38th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Value with a capital V on Sonny Styles in pick No. 47, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick104
Rnd4
John Mateer
Somehow John Mateer was still sitting there in slot 104, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick177
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Good price on Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 37, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194
Rnd6
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Isaiah Nwokobia
They paid up for Isaiah Nwokobia at pick 203 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
They took Raylen Wilson at par in the 212th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick218
Rnd7
Trebor Pena
Trebor Pena at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
A clean, defensible pick in No. 239 with a little surplus value in Trey Zuhn III. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254
Rnd7
Peyton Bowen
Nothing to complain about; Peyton Bowen went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jordan White
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan White in pick 256, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
