Jets built draft success they've had on nailing their 1st round picks in the early years... Scheifele, Trouba, Morrissey, Ehlers, Connor.
More recently, their 1st round success has been less impressive (or the jury is still out)... Laine, Stanley, Vesalainen, Heinola, Perfetti, Lucius, McGroarty, Barlow, Lambert... Some of that is because the picks were a bit later, but they still need a few of those to really pop.
Overall, their best recent picks in terms of value were a bit later... Salomonsson (#55), Samberg (#43), Lambert (#30) and Chibrikov (#50).
If they don't trade for a 1st this year, I hope they can still nail that #37 overall pick. They need some Dallas type of drafting success / luck, along with good development of their current prospect pool.
