Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets won the night they stopped Tuten from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Bhayshul Tuten slide 35 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Ewers left real value on the table behind him. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 7th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at pick 42 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Quinn Ewers. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at slot 110 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
A clean, defensible pick in the 145th pick with a little surplus value in Vernon Broughton. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They took Jonah Monheim at par in pick No. 156, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They will replay Bhayshul Tuten at No. 186 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Taking Upton Stout in Round 6, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
