FutureF
The Jets answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: F. The Jets spent real capital to be 63 picks early on Malachi Moore, and the board is going to hold them to it. It bottoms out at a F.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it.
The Tampa pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 1 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick8
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In the 8th overall pick they get the arm they will build around. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick12
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 12th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick20
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 20 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at slot 35 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick48
Rnd2
Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in Round 2, Pick 16 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick52
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
The board fumbled Adonai Mitchell all the way to No. 52, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in the 74th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76
Rnd3
Troy Fautanu
Somehow Troy Fautanu was still sitting there in slot 76, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick86
Rnd3
T.J. Tampa
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, T.J. Tampa in pick No. 86, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Cooper DeJean
Circle this one: Cooper DeJean at Round 3, Pick 24 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
A wild overpay on Malachi Moore in pick 103, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
Steal is underselling it; Michael Pratt at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen is a better player than the 110th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Cam Hart
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Cam Hart worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in pick 114, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick116
Rnd4
Howard Cross III
They took Howard Cross III at par in Round 4, Pick 16, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick117
Rnd4
Tykee Smith
A reach on Tykee Smith in the 117th pick; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120
Rnd4
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick No. 120 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
A conviction pick on Shemar Turner at slot 122 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Nice patience on Blake Fisher, who had no business lasting to No. 123. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick238
Rnd7
Joe Milton III
Taking Joe Milton III in the 238th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 239 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
No drama and no debate, Sam Hartman went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
