FutureF
The Jets finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B. Thirty-one other rooms let Jamari Johnson slide, and the Jets were the ones holding the card at the 247th pick. Highway robbery. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
Everything downstream of Dante Moore depends on Dante Moore, and the building knows it. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Ellis Robinson IV
No drama and no debate, Ellis Robinson IV went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick17
Rnd1
Matayo Uiagalelei
A tidy bit of business in Round 1, Pick 17, where Matayo Uiagalelei graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick21
Rnd1
Dante Moore
Steal is underselling it; Dante Moore at the 21st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick22
Rnd1
Will Echoles
In slot 22 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
KJ Bolden
In No. 26 they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28
Rnd1
Carter Smith
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick41
Rnd2
Trey'Dez Green
Trey'Dez Green in pick No. 41 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick57
Rnd2
Charlie Becker
Charlie Becker at Round 2, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick64
Rnd2
Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson in the 64th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72
Rnd3
Yhonzae Pierre
Yhonzae Pierre at pick 72 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74
Rnd3
Cayden Green
Circle this one: Cayden Green at the 74th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92
Rnd3
Sammy Brown
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109
Rnd4
Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper in the 109th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127
Rnd4
A'Mauri Washington
Taking A'Mauri Washington in No. 127 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143
Rnd5
Omarion Miller
They robbed the room for Omarion Miller here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192
Rnd6
Austin Siereveld
You do not let an offensive lineman like Austin Siereveld reach Round 6, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206
Rnd6
Iapani Laloulu
The board fumbled Iapani Laloulu all the way to pick 206, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick208
Rnd6
Darian Mensah
Darian Mensah in pick No. 208 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick212
Rnd6
Kewan Lacy
They barely believed it either: Kewan Lacy still on the board at No. 212. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick230
Rnd7
Kelley Jones
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kelley Jones in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235
Rnd7
Will Heldt
They will replay Will Heldt at pick No. 235 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick242
Rnd7
Ahmad Moten Sr.
Somehow Ahmad Moten Sr. was still sitting there in the 242nd overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245
Rnd7
Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery at the 245th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jamari Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Jamari Johnson at slot 247 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
