Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Jets.

· 4 reaches
The Wesley Bissainthe selection is the head-turner. The Jets reached 43 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
Allen at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 2 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
In No. 16 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Zachariah Branch at the 38th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 12 with a little surplus value in Caleb Banks. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, CJ Allen in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Devin Moore at pick No. 103 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A quiet steal in the 108th pick: Treydan Stukes for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Trigg at pick No. 111, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Drew Allar at pick 170 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Jeff Caldwell in Round 5, Pick 39 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A real head-scratcher, Trey Zuhn III in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A big swing on Wesley Bissainthe at No. 242, well ahead of any board in the building. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
