FutureA+
The Jets cashed the board's mistake on Harden: B. You could see the war room lean forward. Myles Harden at pick No. 253 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B.
They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Jets paired the rookies with proven help, Jedrick Wills Jr. leading the way.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 18 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick71
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 7, where Javon Bullard graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in the 72nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
They robbed the room for Kingsley Suamataia here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at No. 102 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
Fair-plus on Mekhi Wingo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
A quiet steal in slot 117: Matt Goncalves for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
A slide stopped in the 135th pick, with Johnny Wilson worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in pick 138, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
A running back of that caliber at No. 152 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A wild overpay on Joe Milton III in the 156th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178
Rnd6
Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen slid further than he should have, and the 178th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
They paid sticker price for Tahj Washington in Round 6, Pick 10, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick206
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
Nothing to complain about; Steele Chambers went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick214
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at slot 214 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylan Ford at pick No. 222 is the proof. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick225
Rnd7
Evan Williams
They read the board right and Evan Williams was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 5. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234
Rnd7
Caedan Wallace
The board fumbled Caedan Wallace all the way to the 234th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253
Rnd7
Myles Harden
Myles Harden in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at No. 256 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jalen Coker
Jalen Coker in the 257th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
