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

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tyler Harrell; the Jets did not wait, grabbing him 104 spots ahead at pick 256. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

However the rest shakes out, Fautanu at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Troy Fautanu at slot 33. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick39 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in Round 2, Pick 7, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Value with a capital V on Kamren Kinchens in the 72nd overall pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in pick No. 83 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They paid up for Theo Johnson at slot 111 when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick119 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones at pick 119 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They left a pile of value on the table to take Curtis Jacobs this early at No. 178. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick185 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They liked Joe Milton III enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 10. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Harrell. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
No edge and no loss on Rasheen Ali in the 257th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
