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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Jets started one anyway for Decamerion Richardson, 62 picks ahead of schedule. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Getting DeLoach where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 16th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 1 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 65 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick72 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in No. 72, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Theo Johnson in slot 81, miles early. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jacob Cowing this early at pick No. 111. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A wild overpay on Jordan Travis in No. 135, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick 185 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick256 Rnd7 Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at the 256th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 39: Kalen DeLoach for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
