The Jets cashed the board's mistake on Wheatley: B. Somebody in the Round 3 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Jets sat still while Zakee Wheatley, the No. 71 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
Value with a capital V on Caleb Downs in the 11th pick, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick18
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In pick 20 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
A slide stopped in the 35th overall pick, with Kenyon Sadiq worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick45
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in Round 2, Pick 13 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
Circle this one: Zakee Wheatley at pick No. 90 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik in No. 105 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
