New York received picks No. 121 and No. 157 from Tennessee and selected Trevon Wesco and Blake Cashman. Wesco filled a blocking and special-teams role, while Cashman's Jets tenure was repeatedly interrupted before he later found greater success elsewhere. Tennessee used No. 116 on Amani Hooker, who became a multiyear starting safety, giving the Titans the stronger team-specific return.

Trade Analysis
What Changed Hands
Tennessee traded the 121st and 157th picks in the 2019 draft to New York for picks No. 116 and No. 168. The Titans selected Iowa safety Amani Hooker at 116 and Georgia linebacker D'Andre Walker at 168. The Jets used their two selections on West Virginia tight end Trevon Wesco and Minnesota linebacker Blake Cashman. Because the teams stayed within the same portion of Day 3, development mattered much more than draft-slot value.
Why Tennessee Pulled Ahead
Hooker became the decisive player in the exchange. He grew from a versatile rookie defensive back into a regular starter and gave Tennessee several seasons of useful safety play. Walker did not provide meaningful NFL value, so this was not a two-hit return for the Titans. The Jets also received mixed results. Wesco contributed as a run-blocking tight end and special-teams player but never became a major offensive piece. Cashman flashed athleticism, yet injuries repeatedly interrupted his New York tenure before he later developed into a more prominent linebacker after leaving the Jets.
How the Deal Aged
Judging the transaction by value delivered to the acquiring teams, Hooker's sustained Tennessee role creates the separation. Cashman's later success elsewhere shows that the Jets identified an NFL-caliber player, but New York did not receive the benefit of his best seasons. Tennessee, by contrast, kept the most valuable player from the swap in its lineup through multiple seasons. That is especially meaningful for a trade involving only fourth- and fifth-round capital.
Final Verdict
Tennessee wins with a B+, while New York earns a C. The Titans did not get anything from Walker, which prevents a higher grade, but Hooker's starting tenure was enough to beat the Jets' combined return. New York found two functional NFL players, yet neither delivered comparable long-term value for the Jets themselves.
