Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
The Jets fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The Jets put a flag in the ground for Dominic Zvada, 96 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

The Anderson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Jets indulged a want in Styles while a need in interior defensive lineman and running back stayed open.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 12th pick they get a three-down second-level presence. More want than need.
Pick24 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Sonny Styles while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and running back sat open.
Pick33 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick44 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Anthony Hill Jr. at linebacker with interior defensive lineman and running back open.
Pick103 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malik Muhammad at Round 4, Pick 3. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 112th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd4 Taylen Green
A wild overpay on Taylen Green in pick 140, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd5 Patrick Payton
They reached into another round for Patrick Payton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
You do not let a wide receiver like Aaron Anderson reach the 194th overall pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dominic Zvada
They reached a country mile for Dominic Zvada at pick No. 208, and the board is aghast. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jadon Canady
Nice patience on Jadon Canady, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Kelly. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
