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

The Jets bet big and early on Antwane Wells Jr., 76 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The whole projection now runs through Jaxson Dart; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Robinson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
They talked themselves into Jaxson Dart at No. 7, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick42 Rnd2 Mike Green
Mike Green is a better player than slot 42 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 73rd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in Round 4, Pick 8 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick146 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick No. 146 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick157 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They liked Connor Colby enough to skip the value, taking him in the 157th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Ty Robinson
Taking Ty Robinson in Round 6, Pick 10 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ja'Corey Brooks
They paid a round early for Ja'Corey Brooks in the 209th pick, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
