Trade Analysis
What Changed Hands
The Jets moved up one spot from No. 93 to No. 92 in the 2019 third round and selected tackle Chuma Edoga. Minnesota received No. 93 plus seventh-round pick No. 217, then continued trading: No. 93 went to Baltimore for Nos. 102, 191 and 193, while No. 217 became cornerback Kris Boyd.
Why the Value Moved
New York got the player it wanted in Edoga, who provided some starting experience but never developed into a long-term answer at tackle. Minnesota extracted an extra pick for moving down only one position and then leveraged the new third-rounder again. That sequence ultimately helped the Vikings land Alexander Mattison, Marcus Epps and Oli Udoh, while Boyd also contributed on defense and special teams.
How the Trade Aged
The downstream tree is what separates the sides. The Jets received one developmental offensive lineman. Minnesota accepted the tiny risk of moving back one slot, gained an additional seventh, and then multiplied the third-round asset into three more selections. Not every player became a core starter for Minnesota, and Epps later found his best role elsewhere, but the volume and usable NFL talent created from the chain clearly exceeded Edoga's Jets tenure.
Why This Trade Still Matters
Draft-day trades are best judged by the full path of the selections, not simply the first names attached to the pick numbers. Moving a few slots can create extra chances, but those chances matter only if the club converts them into useful players or additional capital. Here, the later player outcomes make the original choice to move up or down much easier to evaluate in hindsight.
Final Verdict
Minnesota wins this transaction. The Vikings earn a B+ for repeatedly converting draft position into multiple useful players, while the Jets receive a C because Edoga gave them some snaps but not enough lasting value to justify losing the extra capital.
