The Jets went off the board in a big way for Dominic Zvada, 67 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The Caldwell value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Spending an early pick on linebacker with edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Arvell Reese · LB · rank 7
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Need was not the driver here.
R1.16 · Pick 16 · Carnell Tate · WR · rank 12
In the 16th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.20 · Pick 20 · Kenyon Sadiq · TE · rank 17
In slot 20 they get a seam-stretching tight end. More want than need.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 19
A quiet steal in the 33rd pick: Olaivavega Ioane for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Chris Johnson · CB · rank 33
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Chris Johnson at pick No. 44 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Elijah Sarratt · WR · rank 77
Elijah Sarratt in No. 92 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Bud Clark · S · rank 105
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bud Clark. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.40 · Pick 140 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 134
A want over a need in pick No. 140: Harold Perkins Jr. adds a linebacker while edge rusher, interior defensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
R5.39 · Pick 179 · Taylen Green · QB · rank 194
A reach for Taylen Green in Round 5, Pick 39; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.12 · Pick 228 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 193
They robbed the room for Jeff Caldwell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.26 · Pick 242 · Dominic Zvada · PK · rank 309
Dominic Zvada at the 242nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
