Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Fernando Mendoza is the Jets' quarterback, full stop. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They banked enough surplus on Jennings to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots went begging.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 16 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 Dontay Corleone
A straight-up fair deal on Dontay Corleone at pick No. 33, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick44 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A want over a need in pick 44: Sonny Styles adds a linebacker while edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick103 Rnd4 Daylen Everette
Value with a capital V on Daylen Everette in Round 4, Pick 3, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in the 175th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd5 Bud Clark
They paid sticker price for Bud Clark in slot 178, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
A reasonable price with a little left over, DJ Harvey in the 192nd overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nolan Rucci
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nolan Rucci. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215 Rnd6 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in slot 215 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Kevin Jennings is a better player than pick 218 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
Good price on Ricardo Hallman in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
