Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jets: B-.

The Jets spent real capital to be 45 picks early on Kyle McCord, and the board is going to hold them to it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Reed pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In No. 7 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
No edge and no loss on Xavier Watts in Round 2, Pick 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
They reached into another round for Kyle McCord, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joshua Farmer. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A big swing on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 145, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A slide stopped in pick 162, with Nick Nash worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A premium they did not need to pay, Oronde Gadsden II a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in pick 207 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
