Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Mendoza is the plan now, and the Jets grade out a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Keyon Ware-Hudson; the Jets did not wait, grabbing him 117 spots ahead at the 254th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Whatever Fernando Mendoza becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They banked enough surplus on Abney II to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a long-term answer under center, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick28 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 28th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Mansoor Delane
A quiet steal in pick No. 36: Mansoor Delane for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick45 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sonny Styles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick105 Rnd4 Keith Abney II
Steal is underselling it; Keith Abney II at slot 105 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick171 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A reach for Zane Durant in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
They paid a round early for Oscar Delp in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick193 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at Round 6, Pick 15 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Zuhn III in slot 205, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart in the 206th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
No edge and no loss on Raylen Wilson in the 210th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh at No. 240 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Value said wait; Roman Hemby in pick 253 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Keyon Ware-Hudson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keyon Ware-Hudson this early at pick No. 254. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
