The Jets reached for Deal and never recovered. Grade: F. Nobody else had Markis Deal anywhere near the Round 7 slot. The Jets did, by 46 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.
That Beck pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with cornerback still staring back at them.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
They did well to land Caleb Downs in the 8th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick9
Rnd1
Keldric Faulk
In pick 9 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Eric Singleton Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in slot 34 with a little surplus value in Eric Singleton Jr.. The roster fit checks out.
Pick36
Rnd2
Nyck Harbor
Fair-plus on Nyck Harbor, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick56
Rnd2
Nicholas Singleton
A conviction pick on Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 56 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65
Rnd3
Harold Perkins Jr.
A big swing on Harold Perkins Jr. at Round 3, Pick 1, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick102
Rnd3
Carson Beck
Taking Carson Beck in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Kenyon Sadiq
They read the board right and Kenyon Sadiq was the payoff at the 104th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick130
Rnd4
Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at pick No. 130 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139
Rnd5
Braylan Shelby
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braylan Shelby in Round 5, Pick 1, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick182
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick 182 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253
Rnd7
Markis Deal
Markis Deal in slot 253 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
