Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Moore headlines a B weekend for the Jets.

The search is over. The Jets handed the keys to Dante Moore, and the whole operation now runs on his development. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Slaughter. Every board in the league had Morris lower, and that gap is the story.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16 Rnd1 David Bailey
In pick No. 16 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen in the 33rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A straight-up fair deal on Dillon Thieneman at pick 44, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jake Slaughter
Somehow Jake Slaughter was still sitting there in the 103rd pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart is a better player than No. 175 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
No drama and no debate, Gracen Halton went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
By-the-book stuff, DJ Harvey at slot 193 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
No edge and no loss on Trey Zuhn III in Round 6, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at pick 211 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jamal Haynes
They took Jamal Haynes at par in pick No. 218, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A real head-scratcher, Micah Morris in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
