Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Jets a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Jets were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. However the rest shakes out, Frazier at that price is a win they earned.

The veteran additions, Broderick Jones chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Nate Frazier
In No. 16 they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 John Henry Daley
John Henry Daley in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Whit Weeks
By-the-book stuff, Whit Weeks at Round 4, Pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick178 Rnd5 Tree Babalade
Tree Babalade in pick No. 178 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jordan Castell
No edge and no loss on Jordan Castell in pick 192; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Smith Snowden
Smith Snowden at slot 206 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Anthony Evans III
They took Anthony Evans III at par in the 210th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218 Rnd7 Rico Flores Jr.
No drama and no debate, Rico Flores Jr. went about where he belonged in the 218th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
