Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Jets a B.

The Jets put a flag in the ground for Jordan Travis, 37 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Getting Thomas where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 14 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 43rd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They read the board right and Ja'Tavion Sanders was the payoff at slot 45. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Wright in the 72nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in No. 111 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They talked themselves into Jordan Travis at pick 135, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 185, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tatum Bethune in Round 7, Pick 19. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick256 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in the 256th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in No. 257 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
