The Jets drew a line under the quarterback search with Penix Jr.: B+. The search is over. The Jets handed the keys to Michael Penix Jr., and the whole operation now runs on his development. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
The Greenfield pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Jets indulged a want in Solomon while a need in interior defensive lineman stayed open.
A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Michael Penix Jr. at pick No. 22. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick46
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
By-the-book stuff, Kingsley Suamataia at pick 58 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick72
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamren Kinchens in the 72nd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the 95th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick97
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at Round 3, Pick 34 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd slid further than he should have, and slot 111 is lovely value for the running back. It fills a real need, too.
Pick117
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
A tidy little value on Matt Goncalves in No. 117, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120
Rnd4
Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick123
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in slot 123, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135
Rnd4
Josh Newton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Josh Newton at pick No. 135 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149
Rnd5
Beau Brade
Beau Brade slipping to the 149th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
A quiet steal in No. 194: Cornelius Johnson for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JD Bertrand. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick219
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in Round 6, Pick 44 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237
Rnd7
Caedan Wallace
Taking Caedan Wallace in pick No. 237 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick238
Rnd7
Tatum Bethune
The board had Tatum Bethune higher than slot 238, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick245
Rnd7
Kalen DeLoach
No drama and no debate, Kalen DeLoach went about where he belonged in No. 245. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jalen Coker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalen Coker in the 256th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
They robbed the room for Garret Greenfield here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
