Draft Grade — Jets

The Jets answered their biggest question with Mendoza. Grade: B-.

The Jets spent the pick that matters most on Fernando Mendoza, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Hill Jr. lower, and that gap is the story.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
Fernando Mendoza in pick No. 3 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick18 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 18th overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34 Rnd2 KC Concepcion
KC Concepcion in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick46 Rnd2 Dani Dennis-Sutton
No edge and no loss on Dani Dennis-Sutton in No. 46; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
