Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Jets.

The Howard Cross III pick is the one that will follow the Jets into the fall. They took him 58 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

On value alone, Howard makes the weekend a net positive. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
They took Matthew Golden at par in slot 7, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick42 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick 42 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Taking Xavier Watts in pick No. 73 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at the 110th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Will Howard
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Will Howard in No. 145, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Howard Cross III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Howard Cross III. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin is a better player than the 186th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Value with a capital V on Luke Lachey in Round 6, Pick 31, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
