Picking top-five is way different than picking first round. There's little difference between pick 25 and 35, but huge difference between 5 and 25.

True most teams only have 20-25 first round draft grades. If you go by the Jimmy Johnson draft value chart there is a thousand point difference between pick 5 and 25 which is equivalent to pick 16 so 5 is worth the same as a mid and late first rounder.

Yeah, and the Jets flipped both Adams and Gardner at way above what I'd expected them to get (and got a nice return on Williams as well).

Way better.

This is pretty darn good. Granted Jets had a lot higher picks during these years than the 49ers who only picked in the top 10 twice (one of those times they had to trade 3 first rounders to get there).
