Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jets: B+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Jets spent pick 210 on Eric Gentry, a name most had 146 spots down the list. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The Washington Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. It is not that Styles is a bad player; it is that the Jets had louder needs to answer first. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
The board had Arvell Reese higher than slot 16, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick24 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
They bypassed pressing needs at safety to take Sonny Styles, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at pick 29 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick33 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
They took Denzel Boston at par in the 33rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Lee Hunter. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
They barely believed it either: Treydan Stukes still on the board at pick No. 103. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Of all the spots to shop, they chose tight end. Oscar Delp in pick 111 leaves safety for later.
Pick112 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
They robbed the room for Mike Washington Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd4 George Gumbs Jr.
A wild overpay on George Gumbs Jr. in No. 140, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cole Payton
They talked themselves into Cole Payton at slot 163, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at the 180th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick210 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Gentry in the Round 6 slot, miles early. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at pick No. 228 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Terion Stewart
They paid up for Terion Stewart at Round 7, Pick 26 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Adam Randall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Adam Randall this early at pick No. 246. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
