Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jets and Proctor: C+.

Everything else got attention, and cornerback got none. That is a strange way for the Jets to leave a draft.

That Proctor pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The cost of the Hartman reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick74 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in No. 74, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley at pick 111 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ainias Smith. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in slot 145 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
No drama and no debate, Austin Stogner went about where he belonged in pick No. 187. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick194 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the 194th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Circle this one: Josh Proctor at Round 6, Pick 26 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A reach on Zion Logue in the 229th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
By-the-book stuff, Trey Wedig at No. 255 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Nice patience on Eric Gentry, who had no business lasting to the Round 7 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
