FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 88 lands the Jets a B+, Mateer and all. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how John Mateer got past him. The Jets do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 88. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
They are betting Alexander proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caleb Downs in slot 8. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick28
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In pick 28 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick29
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In the 29th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick36
Rnd2
Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in Round 2, Pick 4 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick56
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
Nothing to complain about; Olaivavega Ioane went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88
Rnd3
John Mateer
John Mateer at No. 88 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105
Rnd4
Will Lee III
They robbed the room for Will Lee III here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at pick No. 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick178
Rnd5
Zane Durant
No edge and no loss on Zane Durant in pick 178; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193
Rnd6
Isaac Smith
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Isaac Smith in slot 193, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205
Rnd6
Tree Babalade
Tree Babalade in No. 205 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210
Rnd6
Cam Calhoun
They took Cam Calhoun at par in the 210th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215
Rnd7
Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in pick No. 215 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick240
Rnd7
Kalil Alexander
They talked themselves into Kalil Alexander at Round 7, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
They barely believed it either: Trey Zuhn III still on the board at the 253rd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick254
Rnd7
Robert Spears-Jennings
They read the board right and Robert Spears-Jennings was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
