Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets robbed the room for White. Final grade: B-.

Somebody in slot 229 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Jets sat still while Ricky White, the No. 178 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 8 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick72 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at Round 3, Pick 8 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the 108th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in pick No. 145 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Jamari Thrash for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ricky White
Ricky White at the 229th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel at slot 255 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick256 Rnd7 Turner Corcoran
Turner Corcoran in No. 256 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
