Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 18: the Jets steal Ransom and grade out a B.

The board owed the Jets one, and it paid up: Lathan Ransom, the No. 110 name on the board, sitting there at pick 157 like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Every board in the league had Conner lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at the 42nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter is a better player than pick 92 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
No drama and no debate, Jordan Phillips went about where he belonged in No. 109. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
They liked Howard Cross III enough to skip the value, taking him in the 146th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick157 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Karene Reid in slot 209 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
