Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a B, for the Jets.

The Jets spent real capital to be 116 picks early on Roman Hemby, and the board is going to hold them to it. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Whatever Fernando Mendoza becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. On value alone, Wallace III makes the weekend a net positive.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In No. 2 they get the face of the franchise. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 16 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
A quiet steal in the 33rd overall pick: Kayden McDonald for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 44th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Deion Burks
No drama and no debate, Deion Burks went about where he belonged in pick No. 103. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Sam Roush
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Sam Roush graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick178 Rnd5 Kaelon Black
A big swing on Kaelon Black at pick No. 178, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ephesians Prysock at the 192nd pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in pick 206 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Zuhn III. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Harrison Wallace III
Harrison Wallace III in No. 218 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at slot 242 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
