Truckley45 DRAFTING FOR THEJets

Draft Grade — Jets
Overall

FutureB-
The Jets finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-. Start where it matters. The Jets took Fernando Mendoza to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Leavitt. Every board in the league had White lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
They went early on Fernando Mendoza in pick No. 5, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick32
Rnd1
David Bailey
They took David Bailey at par in slot 32, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36
Rnd2
KC Concepcion
KC Concepcion in the 36th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Good price on Anthony Hill Jr. in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick105
Rnd4
Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt in the 105th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun is a better player than pick 178 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192
Rnd6
Earnest Greene III
Fair-plus on Earnest Greene III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202
Rnd6
Isaiah Nwokobia
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaiah Nwokobia a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208
Rnd6
Makhi Hughes
They paid sticker price for Makhi Hughes in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237
Rnd7
DeAndre Moore Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DeAndre Moore Jr. at the 237th pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jordan White
A big swing on Jordan White at No. 253, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254
Rnd7
Lawson Luckie
By-the-book stuff, Lawson Luckie at pick No. 254 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
