Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA FutureB
The Jets left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Dante Moore is the Jets' quarterback, full stop. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Reaching for Johnson left real value on the table behind him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hurst.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In the 2nd pick they get their quarterback of the future. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the 16th overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
Good price on Chris Brazzell II in pick 38, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44 Rnd2 Romello Height
A reach on Romello Height in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen in pick No. 103 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick126 Rnd4 Sammy Omosigho
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sammy Omosigho this early at Round 4, Pick 26. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
They let Jalen Stroman come to them and pounced at slot 175. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd5 Albert Regis
A straight-up fair deal on Albert Regis at No. 178, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Braylan Shelby
Braylan Shelby at Round 6, Pick 13 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at No. 205 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
No drama and no debate, Miles Kitselman went about where he belonged in slot 218. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick240 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
They talked themselves into Dijon Johnson at pick No. 240, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
