But because of the way the board fell -- and because New York gave up two third-rounders and a Day 3 pick to the Vikings to move up for Alijah Vera-Tucker -- the Jets ended up using three late-Day 3 picks between Nos. 150-200 overall on corner, stocking up on fliers instead of a sure-thing. Exiting the draft, TE and EDGE were the two biggest areas of need the Jets hadn't addressed. The Jets’ UDFA priorities were clear: Get one of the best players at those three positions that had fallen through the cracks. Turns out Gang Green was willing to shell out to make that happen. The Jets became the first team to give a $200k guaranteed UDFA deal, handing it to Mississippi TE Kenny Yeboah (the deal snapped the previous record of Jacksonville signing SDSU CB Luq Barcoo to $180k in guarantees last year). Yeboah, the No. 12 overall player on my UDFA board, reunites with collegiate teammate WR Elijah Moore in the Big Apple. Hilariously, I comped Yeboah to Chris Herndon, the man he’ll now be competing against (along with Ryan Griffin). The Jets then outright disrespected Barcoo by also breaking his guaranteed record for a UDFA corner, handing Oregon State CB Isaiah Dunn $185,000. The Jets like Dunn more than I do -- he was my No. 15 UDFA corner -- but he’s got the size and athleticism to stick and was better in 2018-2019 than he was in a five-game sample last fall. New York also brought in Dunn’s college teammate, Hamilcar Rashed, to infuse young blood at EDGE. Rashed’s signing bonus hasn’t been reported; whatever guarantees he got will pale in comparison to Yeboah and Dunn. Rashed is a tweener. His play, like Dunn’s, dropped off over a five-game 2020 schedule (Tony Pauline went so far as to say: “Rashed often looked disinterested in 2020.”). Even so, Rashed was a second-team AP All-American in 2019 when he led the FBS with 22.5 TFL and tied for third in the country with 14 sacks. Rashed posted an 83rd-percentile RAS athletic composite at his pro day workout. Small with poor agility drills, but equipped with speed and explosion. Indisputably worth bringing in for a negligible-cost look. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Plus, Hamilcar is one of the best names around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derp Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Wonder if/where Rashed would’ve been drafted if he sat out. Didn't test poorly, just very straight line. Still a tweener I suppose but I bet he would’ve been picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet2020 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Yes, because we all know grading UDFAs 2 weeks removed from the draft is ideal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 What do 7th round picks get compared to udfa? Since the jets had no 7th rounder they just prioritized guys and treated them as drafted players probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenReaper Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Yeboah in 2020 lit up National Champs Alabama for 182 yards and 2 TDs. IMO he's a steal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indisputably worth bringing in for a negligible-cost look. Do not let them get you down. Every team carries some undrafted free agents and they get into the game more than you would think. Last season our UDFA's Huff, Jackson and Guidry played all the time. Jackson had eight starts. Further, with this no combine and no shrine game oddball year - the draft became a crap shoot. The UDFA pile contains players who would otherwise have been drafted. The COVID year gave an advantage to players from established programs and hurt players from smaller schools and those whose teams cancelled the season. Douglas left no stone unturned. Good teams get free stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitochondria Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 My takeaway - the Jets just handed out the two biggest UDFA contracts of all time in the same year. Both of these guys are likely longshots to make the team...And somehow a significant portion of the fanbase continues to insist that the Johnson's are cheap and unwilling to spend money to win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest gripe I had was not that they were cheap, it was that they spent the money unwisely. Thankfully, that seems to have changed. Though they haven't sent me a big check. I'm waiting. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeboah will 10% make the roster and I believe the other kid will as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
