Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The Jets bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Demon Clowney at pick No. 252, a reach of 121 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Put together, it is a D-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Caldwell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick 16 they get a seam-stretching tight end. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick No. 20 they get a true top target at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the 21st pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick29 Rnd1 Chris Bell
The board had cheaper options than Chris Bell at the 29th overall pick, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A reach on Jake Slaughter in Round 2, Pick 1; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick35 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
They went early on Gennings Dunker in the 35th overall pick, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick44 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at slot 44 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
They reached a country mile for Keylan Rutledge at the 103rd pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
They paid up for J.C. Davis at No. 112 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127 Rnd4 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost in Round 4, Pick 27 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
They talked themselves into DJ Campbell at pick 133, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd4 Matt Gulbin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matt Gulbin well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Michael Trigg
They barely believed it either: Michael Trigg still on the board at Round 5, Pick 10. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
They did well to land Jalen Stroman in the 150th pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Fair-plus on Louis Moore, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 156 with a little surplus value in Davison Igbinosun. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in No. 157 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick160 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
A slide stopped in pick 160, with Domani Jackson worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
They jumped the gun on Xavier Nwankpa, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Toriano Pride Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Toriano Pride Jr. in the 170th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Bud Clark
They left a pile of value on the table to take Bud Clark this early at pick No. 172. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kaleb Proctor in pick 175. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at the 176th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd5 Quintayvious Hutchins
Quintayvious Hutchins in the 178th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr at slot 188 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick189 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at Round 6, Pick 10 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Lander Barton
A quiet steal in No. 190: Lander Barton for less than the market said. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick191 Rnd6 Mason Reiger
By-the-book stuff, Mason Reiger at slot 191 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton in the 192nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick200 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Nothing to complain about; Rayshaun Benny went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
They paid sticker price for Zxavian Harris in pick No. 206, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Nick Barrett
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nick Barrett in Round 6, Pick 28, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Daevin Hobbs. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Deven Eastern
Value said wait; Deven Eastern in No. 210 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Keyron Crawford
Keyron Crawford at the 213th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
A wild overpay on Jordan Hall in the 215th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jamari Lyons
Jamari Lyons at pick No. 218 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Joshua Braun
Joshua Braun in Round 7, Pick 20 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at the 242nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton in pick 243 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
They took Fernando Carmona at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby in No. 246 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dijon Johnson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in slot 250 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
The board fumbled Diego Pavia all the way to the 251st pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick252 Rnd7 Demon Clowney
Demon Clowney at Round 7, Pick 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick255 Rnd7 Mitchell Melton
They reached into another round for Mitchell Melton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Clayton Smith
A big swing on Clayton Smith at the 256th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavian Sorey Jr. this early at No. 257. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
