Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jets: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Jets did exactly that with George Gumbs Jr. in the Round 7 slot.

They banked enough surplus on Moore to cover a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Arvell Reese at pick No. 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick17 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In pick 17 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value.
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 1 is lovely value for the tight end. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick44 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Darrell Jackson Jr. at the 103rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick118 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
A conviction pick on Cade Klubnik at No. 118 that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick155 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Value with a capital V on Kage Casey in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Steal is underselling it; Louis Moore at pick 175 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick178 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner is a better player than pick No. 178 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jalon Daniels
They talked themselves into Jalon Daniels at the 192nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 27, where Dallen Bentley graded well above the range. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
A tidy little value on Le'Veon Moss in slot 209, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218 Rnd7 George Gumbs Jr.
They reached into another round for George Gumbs Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick242 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
A tight end of that caliber at the 242nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
