Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D-
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA-
The Jets bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Some picks age like wine; Will Rogers at the 123rd pick will need to, sitting 255 spots clear of his grade. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and offensive lineman is somehow still a want.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and offensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 7th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick12 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 12 they get a problem off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick14 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the 14th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Howard Cross III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Howard Cross III in pick No. 42, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Sam Brown Jr.
A big swing on Sam Brown Jr. at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at slot 110 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Will Rogers
Will Rogers at slot 123 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kyle Monangai
They reached into another round for Kyle Monangai, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A straight-up fair deal on JJ Pegues at the 186th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in Round 6, Pick 31 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
