Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Jets and Anderson: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Aaron Anderson tumbling to the Jets in the Round 6 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback and edge rusher open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 2nd pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker. Need was not the driver here.
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 16 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sonny Styles at linebacker with quarterback and edge rusher open.
Pick44 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse at pick No. 44 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
The board fumbled Sam Hecht all the way to the 103rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at pick 175 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart at No. 178 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick206 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Oscar Delp at pick 206. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick209 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Toriano Pride Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
No drama and no debate, Fa'alili Fa'amoe went about where he belonged in the 242nd overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
