A franchise passer in Nussmeier headlines a B weekend for the Jets. The Jets spent the pick that matters most on Garrett Nussmeier, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.
Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
On value alone, Stewart makes the weekend a net positive.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Garrett Nussmeier
In No. 4 they get the face of the franchise. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Zachariah Branch
A tidy little value on Zachariah Branch in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68
Rnd3
Taurean York
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Taurean York in the 68th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeMonte Capehart. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139
Rnd5
Evan Stewart
Taking Evan Stewart in pick 139 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick143
Rnd5
James Smith
Value said wait; James Smith in pick No. 143 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197
Rnd6
Peyton Bowen
Peyton Bowen slipping to slot 197 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick210
Rnd6
Riley Mahlman
No drama and no debate, Riley Mahlman went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 34. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235
Rnd7
Kaleb Jackson
A big swing on Kaleb Jackson at No. 235, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251
Rnd7
King Mack
Value with a capital V on King Mack in slot 251, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253
Rnd7
Evan Tengesdahl
Evan Tengesdahl in pick 253 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
