Just a note that Jets had Chaz Lucious listed at 13 on their internal list. In the 1st round media availability, Chevy told Murat Ates that the picks were much *tighter* than he had expected relative to their own lists. He leaked that there was only a variation of four names when it came their turn to pick. Jets got the 17th player in the draft, a variation of four names implies they had Chaz Lucious listed at 13.
My personal guess on who the Jets had Chaz Lucius HIGHER than (yet were picked ahead of him): Boucher (10th), Rosen (14th) Othmann (15th), and Bolduc (16th).
Regarding Chibrikov, reading the tea leaves from Chevy's Day 2 press conference, he alluded to *one name staring us straight in the face surrounded by a sea of crossed out names*. Of course, they called a time-out to think it through. My guess is that Chibrikov was a player they had likely listed between 18-25 on their lists. They probably never gave him much consideration because:
a) Their pick was (17th) player - so no need to concern yourself too much with your 18-30 rankings
b) Never in their wildest dreams could they assume a player they had ranked so high could possibly be available at 50
c) Considering their last *big* picks were Perfetti and Lucius, they probably really wanted to find a value Defenceman with their 50th pick
He alludes to the time-out as where they went around the table and said 'are we really taking this guy?'. Almost like a *too good to be true* moment, yet they've never really *wasted* a high pick on a top end Russian prospect. Deep down, they probably wanted a D with their 2nd pick, but Chibrikov was just so much higher ranked than anyone else on their list, they couldn't pass him up. That's probably why the time-out. Internally, it's like, do we want our 45th ranked player that plays D, or our 18th ranked player who's a winger???
I wonder if they had a crystal ball and could have predicted Chibrikov would have been available to them at 50, would they have taken Lambos / Ceulemans / Zellweger / Morrow at 18th overall?
In all scenarios, the Jets made the right choices... but I feel like that time-out is telling of the internal tension they felt about going Perfetti, Lucius, Chibrikov with their most valuable picks ..
Given the Dillon trade yesterday… I kinda wonder if they were trying to do the trade with Washington with their 2021-22 2nd round picks. I could be wrong…just guessing on my part. That was the first thought that came to mind when I heard about the trade.Just a note that Jets had Chaz Lucious listed at 13 on their internal list.

In all scenarios, I feel the Jets made the right choice. Always draft best player available.
Scouch liked what the Jets did with their 4 draft picks...
