Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureA+
Good, not great, for the Jets: B+.

The Jets spent real capital to be 78 picks early on Trinidad Chambliss, and the board is going to hold them to it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. Spending an early pick on linebacker with safety, offensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

However the rest shakes out, Ponds at that price is a win they earned.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 12 they get the heartbeat of the defense. More want than need.
Pick17 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 17 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick20 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In the 20th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They bypassed pressing needs at safety, offensive lineman and other spots to take Sonny Styles, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick44 Rnd2 Trinidad Chambliss
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trinidad Chambliss in the Round 2 slot, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Caden Curry
They took Caden Curry at par in the 103rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick118 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
The board had D'Angelo Ponds higher than the Round 4 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick134 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeMonte Capehart. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
