The Jets went off the board in a big way for Derrick Moore, 22 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Landing Bain Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 2 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. Need was not the driver here.
In pick 16 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
A premium they did not need to pay, Chris Bell a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Derrick Moore this early at pick No. 44. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
