Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Jets won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-.

The war room fell hard for Roman Hemby, and it showed at Round 7, Pick 26: 40 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. However the rest shakes out, McAlister at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher went begging.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Arvell Reese and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 12 they get a green-dot type in the middle. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the 20th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher to take Sonny Styles, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick103 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at pick 103 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 Brenen Thompson
A tidy bit of business in the 175th pick, where Brenen Thompson graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd5 Bud Clark
They took Bud Clark at par in Round 5, Pick 40, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick193 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
A slide stopped in pick No. 193, with Eric McAlister worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Isaac Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Smith in slot 207, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
A wild overpay on Fernando Carmona in the 211th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at No. 242 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
