The Jets worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-. The Jets treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 248th overall pick on Warren Brinson a full 46 spots early.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Starks pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In No. 17 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Good price on Omarion Hampton in pick 34, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 42 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
They liked Jayden Higgins enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick50
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 50th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
They did well to land Alfred Collins in slot 62, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at Round 3, Pick 3 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
No edge and no loss on Maxwell Hairston in pick 73; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
They went early on Smael Mondon Jr. in slot 99, and the value did not follow. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick115
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Fair-plus on Anthony Belton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162
Rnd5
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in the 162nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
A straight-up fair deal on JJ Pegues at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237
Rnd7
Donovan Smith
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Smith in pick No. 237 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248
Rnd7
Warren Brinson
They talked themselves into Warren Brinson at the 248th pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa slid further than he should have, and No. 250 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
