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
In No. 2 they get a three-down second-level presence. Need was not the driver here.
They did well to land Makai Lemon in the 16th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
