The Jets lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.
The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Green at that price is a win they earned.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick-by-Pick
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenyon Sadiq at the Round 2 slot is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They will replay Michael Taaffe at the 90th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
You do not let a wide receiver like Malachi Fields reach the 97th pick and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Logan Jones in pick 122 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Drew Allar in slot 163. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A slide stopped in pick No. 179, with Kevin Coleman Jr. worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dae'Quan Wright in slot 199. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
They robbed the room for Taylen Green here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Le'Veon Moss at No. 228 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Miles Kitselman at Round 7, Pick 33 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Zavion Thomas at pick 254 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
