The Jets cashed the board's mistake on Mondon Jr.: B-.

When a board-topper like Smael Mondon Jr. slides to No. 145, you do not overthink it, and the Jets did not.

Restrepo has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a cornerstone up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at the 42nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in pick 73 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Will Howard
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Will Howard in No. 110. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 145 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Somehow Ryan Fitzgerald was still sitting there in pick No. 186, and they pounced on premier specialist value. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick207 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. at the 207th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
