Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jets: B.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Jets did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The back end got a real overhaul.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caleb Downs. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick16 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In No. 16 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
