Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Jets bled value on every deal, hence the C.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jordan Hall, 72 picks early at pick 175. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Landing Tate that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. More want than need.
Pick18 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
Value with a capital V on Carnell Tate in pick No. 18, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick33 Rnd2 Colton Hood
Good price on Colton Hood in slot 33, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A reasonable price with a little left over, Olaivavega Ioane in pick 44. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick103 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at the 175th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister at pick No. 178 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick192 Rnd6 Rueben Owens II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Rueben Owens II in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Robert Spears-Jennings. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick209 Rnd6 Tony Rojas
They talked themselves into Tony Rojas at Round 6, Pick 30, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick218 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
Brett Norfleet in the 218th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick242 Rnd7 Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade at pick 242 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
