???? DRAFTING FOR THEJets

Draft Grade — Jets
Overall

FutureB-
The Jets finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Jets spent their marquee pick on Fernando Mendoza, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will need Black to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In pick No. 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick33
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
The board had Olaivavega Ioane higher than the 33rd overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick44
Rnd2
Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse in pick 44 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103
Rnd4
Caden Curry
Caden Curry at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175
Rnd5
Sam Roush
Sam Roush at No. 175 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick178
Rnd5
Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black at the 178th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick192
Rnd6
Bryce Boettcher
They will replay Bryce Boettcher at slot 192 for years; that is how good the value is. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick206
Rnd6
Aaron Anderson
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 206th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209
Rnd6
Sawyer Robertson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sawyer Robertson in No. 209. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218
Rnd7
Harrison Wallace III
Harrison Wallace III in Round 7, Pick 2 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242
Rnd7
Miles Kitselman
They barely believed it either: Miles Kitselman still on the board at slot 242. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
