Overall

FutureB
Ford should have been long gone. The Jets pounced, and earned a D. The Jets lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.
They are betting Hartman proves the room right and everyone else wrong. However the rest shakes out, Ford at that price is a win they earned. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
JC Latham
In pick 17 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick46
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
A quiet steal in the 57th pick: Chris Braswell for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 58th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick72
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 72 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They took Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at par in No. 88, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
They let Kris Abrams-Draine come to them and pounced at the 89th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III in pick 108 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111
Rnd4
Maason Smith
They paid sticker price for Maason Smith in the 111th pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cedric Gray in pick No. 129. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in Round 4, Pick 35 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185
Rnd6
Ro Torrence
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ro Torrence at the Round 6 slot is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Nice patience on Tahj Washington, who had no business lasting to No. 202. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220
Rnd6
Erick All
Erick All slid further than he should have, and slot 220 is lovely value for the tight end. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick234
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in Round 7, Pick 14 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the 246th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick256
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
Taking Sheridan Jones in No. 256 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick257
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
They barely believed it either: Donovan Jennings still on the board at pick 257. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
