FutureA
The Jets cashed the board's mistake on James: D. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: David Walker, 77 picks early at slot 87.
That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 7th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in No. 42 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in slot 76 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85
Rnd3
Jermari Harris
No edge and no loss on Jermari Harris in Round 3, Pick 21; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87
Rnd3
David Walker
David Walker at pick No. 87 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96
Rnd3
Gunnar Helm
Somehow Gunnar Helm was still sitting there in the 96th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick101
Rnd3
Malachi Moore
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Moore at the 101st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick 109 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jordan James
Jordan James at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in No. 146, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at slot 148 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick158
Rnd5
Zane Durant
They liked Zane Durant enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 21. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in slot 185 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick190
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 190 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach the 195th overall pick and blink. They did not. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick206
Rnd6
Garrett Dellinger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Garrett Dellinger this early at the 206th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
