Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Jets a B, Walker and all.

The board owed the Jets one, and it paid up: David Walker, the No. 163 name on the board, sitting there at Round 7, Pick 10 like a gift left on the doorstep.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Stowers pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 8 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to pick 40, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They paid sticker price for Elic Ayomanor in Round 3, Pick 31, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Marcus Mbow
Somehow Marcus Mbow was still sitting there in No. 109, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at pick No. 145 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Eli Stowers
The board had cheaper options than Eli Stowers at the 161st pick, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
A tidy bit of business in the 184th overall pick, where Dorian Strong graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Monheim at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 David Walker
Circle this one: David Walker at slot 224 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
