Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Jets got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The Kyle McCord pick is the one that will follow the Jets into the fall. They took him 47 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gordon II.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 7th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in slot 25 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42 Rnd2 Shemar Turner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shemar Turner in Round 2, Pick 10, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kyle McCord this early at the Round 3 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 145 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
The board had cheaper options than Jake Briningstool at pick No. 162, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II is a better player than the 186th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Batty. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
