Nobody had Roman Hemby this high, and it is not close. The Jets reached 174 spots to get him at the Round 5 slot.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, safety and other spots went begging.

That Lew pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Arvell Reese · LB · rank 7
Nothing to complain about; Arvell Reese went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R1.16 · Pick 16 · Carnell Tate · WR · rank 12
In slot 16 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.20 · Pick 20 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 21
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Sonny Styles in the 20th pick leaves edge rusher, safety and other spots for later.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Olaivavega Ioane · OG · rank 22
Olaivavega Ioane slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · D'Angelo Ponds · CB · rank 47
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on D'Angelo Ponds. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Drew Allar · QB · rank 157
Drew Allar at No. 92 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Connor Lew · C · rank 82
Steal is underselling it; Connor Lew at the 103rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Sam Roush · TE · rank 92
You do not let a tight end like Sam Roush reach pick 112 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.40 · Pick 140 · Harold Perkins Jr. · LB · rank 133
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Harold Perkins Jr. at linebacker with edge rusher, safety and other spots open.
R5.39 · Pick 179 · Roman Hemby · RB · rank 353
They reached into another round for Roman Hemby, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.26 · Pick 242 · Dominic Zvada · PK · rank 301
Dominic Zvada at the 242nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
