Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Jets, and a B to prove it.

The Jets torched the value chart for Carson Beck, taking him 76 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Anderson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In slot 2 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In the 16th overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Colton Hood
Colton Hood at pick 33 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44 Rnd2 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at No. 44 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
They barely believed it either: Deontae Lawson still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick140 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at Round 4, Pick 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick179 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 179, where Ar'maj Reed-Adams graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228 Rnd7 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in the 228th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
They read the board right and Miles Kitselman was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 26. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
