With the morning commute over and being settled in
Analysis - Really wanted to trade down. Not too many guys in this draft seem top 5 worthy, especially with the JETS schemes and needs. The Jets also have no second round pick, so this pick had to count and fit scheme.
From what I know the Jets need OL help - especially LT and C.
The best OT in this draft are natural RT types. Dillard seems the best natural LT, but is average at run blocking.
I don't think anyone is drafting C at #3
I looked at a CB to pair opposite T Johnson and make that secondary fierce with their young S, but I'm not sold on any CB as a top 5 pick.
Same with WR, I'd have loved to get Darnold an explosive playmaker, and I know some people think DK Metcalf is the second coming, but my disabled mom has better lateral movement and hands.
Some very good DL prospects but Gregg Williams runs a 3-4 base in NY.
I also think NYC will riot if another DL is drafted in the early first round by the Jets.
My decision came down to TE TJ Hockenson (Rated top 10 by CBS and Walter Football),
Devin White (but CJ Mosely acquisition tempered this)
and Josh Allen.
I think Gregg Williams would like having a chess piece like Allen to move around, and it should help boost their pass rush.
