You can hear the double-takes from here. The Jets took Drew Allar at Round 4, Pick 3, roughly 54 spots before his name belonged.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Allen where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Arvell Reese · LB · rank 7
In No. 2 they get a three-down second-level presence. Need was not the driver here.
R1.16 · Pick 16 · Makai Lemon · WR · rank 10
They did well to land Makai Lemon in the 16th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Chris Johnson · CB · rank 33
No drama and no debate, Chris Johnson went about where he belonged in pick No. 33. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Zion Young · DE-EDGE · rank 43
Zion Young at slot 44 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 157
They reached a country mile for Drew Allar at pick 103, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.40 · Pick 140 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 133
A reasonable price with a little left over, Oscar Delp in Round 4, Pick 40. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.39 · Pick 179 · Cyrus Allen · WR · rank 170
A tidy bit of business in slot 179, where Cyrus Allen graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
