Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Jets to a C-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Jets, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. For now it grades a C-, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Jones Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The White III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Hit on Nick Emmanwori and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 20 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyleik Williams in pick 42. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Watts in the 51st pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick No. 73 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They took Jalen Milroe at par in slot 88, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at Round 4, Pick 24 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick142 Rnd5 Aeneas Peebles
By-the-book stuff, Aeneas Peebles at the 142nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick143 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
A tidy little value on Mello Dotson in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in pick 162 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A reach on Oronde Gadsden II in Round 6, Pick 4; the board had better options right there. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid sticker price for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Ricky White III
They talked themselves into Ricky White III at the 207th pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
