Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jets and Wheatley: B-.

The Jets did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Zakee Wheatley fell into slot 103. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 2 they get a green-dot type in the middle. More want than need.
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick No. 16 they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
The board had Olaivavega Ioane higher than the 33rd overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chris Johnson in the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
They robbed the room for Zakee Wheatley here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor at the 175th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor is a better player than slot 178 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Value with a capital V on Ephesians Prysock in Round 6, Pick 13, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 27: Oscar Delp for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick209 Rnd6 Harrison Wallace III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Harrison Wallace III in the 209th overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
They paid sticker price for Jimmy Rolder in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Miller Moss
Miller Moss in slot 242 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
