Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Jets left with their quarterback, and a A- to match.

The Jets spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kenyon Sadiq, the No. 19 name on the board, in the 192nd pick. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Fernando Mendoza is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

Bottom line, with Fernando Mendoza leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the 2nd pick they get their quarterback of the future. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 20 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick44 Rnd2 Carnell Tate
You do not let a wide receiver like Carnell Tate reach No. 44 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 David Bailey
David Bailey at slot 82 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mansoor Delane
Somehow Mansoor Delane was still sitting there in pick No. 103, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano in the 112th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jordyn Tyson
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 175 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick178 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Sonny Styles in the 178th overall pick, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at Round 6, Pick 13 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick206 Rnd6 Michael Taaffe
They robbed the room for Michael Taaffe here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at pick No. 209 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Connor Lew
They will replay Connor Lew at slot 218 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242 Rnd7 Garrett Nussmeier
Taking Garrett Nussmeier in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
