Larceny in Round 6, Pick 31 lands the Jets a B, Higgins and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jay Higgins got past him. The Jets do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 209.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tetairoa McMillan. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick42 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Sanders at pick 42 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick92 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They will replay Harold Fannin Jr. at slot 92 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick109 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sebastian Castro at No. 109 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick146 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in Round 5, Pick 7 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A slide stopped in the 157th pick, with Jonah Monheim worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin slid further than he should have, and pick No. 188 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in the 209th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
