The phones sank the Jets this weekend: C+. The war room fell hard for Joe Milton III, and it showed at the 113th pick: 87 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.
That Melton pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the 18th overall pick they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick48
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Adonai Mitchell at No. 48 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
The board fumbled Tyler Guyton all the way to the 55th pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in pick No. 66 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in slot 90 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Calen Bullock at pick No. 93. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ricky Pearsall
Taking Ricky Pearsall in the 104th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at No. 111 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113
Rnd4
Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in Round 4, Pick 13 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129
Rnd4
Audric Estime
They will replay Audric Estime at slot 129 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130
Rnd4
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at pick 130 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135
Rnd4
Max Melton
Max Melton at the 135th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick141
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
Circle this one: Sataoa Laumea at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 165 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183
Rnd6
Tykee Smith
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Tykee Smith in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230
Rnd7
Erick All
Somehow Erick All was still sitting there in No. 230, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick243
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in Round 7, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick257
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in slot 257 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
