Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Jets spent pick 33 on Garrett Nussmeier, a name most had 45 spots down the list.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Landing McAlister that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In slot 16 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier in pick No. 33 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick44 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at the 44th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick103 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
A tidy bit of business in the 103rd pick, where Treydan Stukes graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 37 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
Jalen Stroman in pick No. 178 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Fair-plus on Taylen Green, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
By-the-book stuff, Le'Veon Moss at slot 206 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister slipping to Round 6, Pick 30 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
Jeremiah Wright in the 218th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
No drama and no debate, Josh Cuevas went about where he belonged in pick 242. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
