Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C for the Jets.

The Jets torched the value chart for Dont'e Thornton Jr., taking him 140 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tyleik Williams
In the 7th pick they get a load in the middle, a steep price for the projection.
Pick42 Rnd2 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jah Joyner
They reached into another round for Jah Joyner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tyler Shough well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145 Rnd5 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They liked Antwaun Powell-Ryland enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 145. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
A wild overpay on Nazir Stackhouse in Round 5, Pick 24, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in pick No. 186 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They paid sticker price for Luke Lachey in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
