The Jets torched the value chart for Deven Eastern, taking him 51 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Ramsey at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

In the end it comes back to Arvell Reese, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · Arvell Reese · LB · rank 7
In No. 16 they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that. More want than need.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 22
Olaivavega Ioane is a better player than Round 2, Pick 1 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 53
They liked Eli Stowers enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 44. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Caden Curry · DE-EDGE · rank 131
A real head-scratcher, Caden Curry in the 92nd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Kamari Ramsey · S · rank 74
Taking Kamari Ramsey in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Bud Clark · S · rank 103
Bud Clark in pick 112 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.40 · Pick 140 · Zxavian Harris · DT · rank 155
A premium they did not need to pay, Zxavian Harris a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.30 · Pick 170 · Taylen Green · QB · rank 188
Value said wait; Taylen Green in the 170th pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.39 · Pick 179 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 176
Domani Jackson at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.12 · Pick 228 · Deven Eastern · DL · rank 279
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Deven Eastern. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.26 · Pick 242 · Jack Kelly · LB · rank 256
Jack Kelly at slot 242 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.41 · Pick 257 · Zavion Thomas · WR · rank 224
Somehow Zavion Thomas was still sitting there in the 257th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
