Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB
The Jets found their guy under center in Mendoza: B+.

The search is over. The Jets handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The cost of the Womack reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Getting Reese where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 2nd pick they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Arvell Reese
Steal is underselling it; Arvell Reese at pick 33 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick44 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at No. 44 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick106 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Fair-plus on Daylen Everette, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They jumped the gun on Trey Moore, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DJ Campbell in slot 179. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Nice patience on Sawyer Robertson, who had no business lasting to the 193rd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaren Kanak at the Round 6 slot is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick211 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
No edge and no loss on De'Zhaun Stribling in pick No. 211; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Nolan Rucci
Nothing to complain about; Nolan Rucci went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack at No. 242 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
