Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Jets did exactly that with Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 145. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain. However the rest shakes out, Ewers at that price is a win they earned. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 7 they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A tidy little value on Tyleik Williams in slot 42, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 73rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Quinn Ewers in No. 110, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 7, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijah Roberts in the 162nd overall pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in the 186th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in the 207th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
