Truckley45 DRAFTING FOR THEJets

Draft Grade — Jets

FutureB-
The Jets found their guy under center in Mendoza: 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.
Getting Leavitt where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The cost of the White reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Fernando Mendoza
In the 5th overall pick they get the arm they will build around, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
David Bailey
In pick No. 32 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36
Rnd2
KC Concepcion
They took KC Concepcion at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick44
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at Round 2, Pick 12 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105
Rnd4
Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt in slot 105 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Davison Igbinosun in No. 178. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192
Rnd6
Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in the 192nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202
Rnd6
Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia in pick 202 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208
Rnd6
Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes in slot 208 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237
Rnd7
DeAndre Moore Jr.
A quiet steal in pick No. 237: DeAndre Moore Jr. for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jordan White
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan White in Round 7, Pick 39, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254
Rnd7
Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at pick 254 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
