Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jets robbed the room for Altmyer. Final grade: 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 is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Styles pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and interior defensive lineman.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In slot 16 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick27 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 27 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Sonny Styles in No. 33 leaves edge rusher and interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick44 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They paid sticker price for Dillon Thieneman in the 44th pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton slipping to pick 103 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. at Round 5, Pick 36 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Oscar Delp at slot 179. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick193 Rnd6 Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas at No. 193 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick207 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in Round 6, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jamal Haynes
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jamal Haynes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
They barely believed it either: Luke Altmyer still on the board at pick No. 218. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ethan Onianwa
Ethan Onianwa at the 242nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
