Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Jets a B.

The blemish is Garrett Nussmeier in the 33rd overall pick, taken a beat before the value said to.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick No. 16 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
They paid a round early for Garrett Nussmeier in the 33rd pick, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at pick 44 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries in No. 103 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick175 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at the 175th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd5 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson at slot 178 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
A tidy little value on Isaiah Nwokobia in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson at Round 6, Pick 27 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jamal Haynes
No drama and no debate, Jamal Haynes went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 30. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
No edge and no loss on Fernando Carmona in No. 218; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Hall. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
