Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesD+ FutureA
The Jets kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Nobody had Roman Hemby this high, and it is not close. The Jets reached 174 spots to get him at the Round 5 slot.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, safety and other spots went begging.

That Lew pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Nothing to complain about; Arvell Reese went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 16 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Sonny Styles in the 20th pick leaves edge rusher, safety and other spots for later.
Pick33 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on D'Angelo Ponds. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick92 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at No. 92 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Steal is underselling it; Connor Lew at the 103rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Sam Roush
You do not let a tight end like Sam Roush reach pick 112 and blink. They did not. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick140 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Harold Perkins Jr. at linebacker with edge rusher, safety and other spots open.
Pick179 Rnd5 Roman Hemby
They reached into another round for Roman Hemby, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at the 242nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
