FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Jets a B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Sam M'Pemba at No. 257 is 167 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The veteran additions, Zay Flowers chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Peter Woods
In pick 4 they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick18
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In slot 18 they get a three-down second-level presence. More want than need.
Pick45
Rnd2
Ja'Kobi Lane
Ja'Kobi Lane in the 45th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49
Rnd2
Germie Bernard
A straight-up fair deal on Germie Bernard at Round 2, Pick 17, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156
Rnd5
Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at the 156th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176
Rnd5
Zane Durant
Zane Durant at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in the 178th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196
Rnd6
Cam Calhoun
No drama and no debate, Cam Calhoun went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick205
Rnd6
Kevin Jennings
They liked Kevin Jennings enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 24. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick212
Rnd6
Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at No. 212 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick220
Rnd7
Da'Shawn Womack
A wild overpay on Da'Shawn Womack in pick No. 220, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240
Rnd7
Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at the 240th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jack Velling
Jack Velling in pick 255 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick257
Rnd7
Sam M'Pemba
Sam M'Pemba in slot 257 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
