FutureC+
The Jets bled value on every deal, hence the C-. The Jets looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Joe Milton III at No. 135 regardless, 65 picks early. It washes out to a C-, no better and no worse.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The Tracy Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In pick 17 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick No. 50 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick58
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at No. 58, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick72
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at the 72nd overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at Round 3, Pick 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
They did well to land Christian Mahogany in No. 104, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at slot 108 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick111
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Nice patience on Cam Hart, who had no business lasting to the 111th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
No edge and no loss on Tyler Davis in Round 4, Pick 20; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135
Rnd4
Joe Milton III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Milton III. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169
Rnd5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick 169 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaheim Bell at the 172nd overall pick is the proof. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick185
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Nothing to complain about; Ty'Ron Hopper went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
No drama and no debate, Jordan Jefferson went about where he belonged in pick 186. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219
Rnd6
Gabe Hall
They took Gabe Hall at par in No. 219, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
They let Josh Proctor come to them and pounced at slot 257. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
