FutureA
The Jets fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. The Joe Milton III selection is the head-turner. The Jets reached 55 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
Pritchett falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
The Jets indulged a want in Gray while a need in interior defensive lineman and running back stayed open. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ja'Tavion Sanders and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Ja'Tavion Sanders
They paid sticker price for Ja'Tavion Sanders in the 35th pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick52
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at pick No. 52 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick72
Rnd3
Xavier Legette
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Legette at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Nice patience on Patrick Paul, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 12. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick92
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
They robbed the room for Ja'Lynn Polk here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95
Rnd3
Austin Booker
They will replay Austin Booker at the 95th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaden Hicks at pick No. 99. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111
Rnd4
Max Melton
They barely believed it either: Max Melton still on the board at the 111th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A curious use of the 114th overall pick. Interior defensive lineman and running back needed the pick; a linebacker in Cedric Gray did not.
Pick135
Rnd4
Beau Brade
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beau Brade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at Round 5, Pick 9, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185
Rnd6
Nehemiah Pritchett
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nehemiah Pritchett in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
The board fumbled Nathan Thomas all the way to slot 256, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
You do not let a cornerback like Daijahn Anthony reach pick 257 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
