The Jets won the night they stopped Orange from sliding. Grade: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Jets shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Jets indulged a want in Perkins Jr. while a need in cornerback stayed open.

Reaching for Lomu left real value on the table behind him. On value alone, Orange makes the weekend a net positive.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Caleb Lomu · OT · rank 28
In pick 12 they get a building block for the line, reach and all.
R1.16 · Pick 16 · Carnell Tate · WR · rank 12
In the 16th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 22
Olaivavega Ioane in Round 2, Pick 1 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Joshua Josephs · DE-EDGE · rank 44
They paid sticker price for Joshua Josephs in pick No. 44, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Anthony Hill Jr. · LB · rank 38
A slide stopped in slot 49, with Anthony Hill Jr. worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Domonique Orange · DT · rank 76
Domonique Orange in No. 103 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
R4.40 · Pick 140 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 133
A surprising call. With cornerback still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 40 on Harold Perkins Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
R5.1 · Pick 141 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 157
Drew Allar at pick 141 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.2 · Pick 142 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 132
The board had Oscar Delp higher than No. 142, and the tight end fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.3 · Pick 143 · CJ Daniels · WR · rank 143
No drama and no debate, CJ Daniels went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. The roster fit checks out.
R5.4 · Pick 144 · Kaytron Allen · RB · rank 147
No edge and no loss on Kaytron Allen in the 144th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.12 · Pick 228 · Robert Spears-Jennings · S · rank 231
A straight-up fair deal on Robert Spears-Jennings at pick No. 228, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.19 · Pick 235 · Xavier Nwankpa · S · rank 236
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Nwankpa at slot 235 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.26 · Pick 242 · Barion Brown · WR · rank 255
A reach on Barion Brown in the 242nd pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
