Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Jets.

The Jets liked Garrett Nussmeier a little more than the market did, and pick 33 shows it. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Jackson Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In slot 2 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the 16th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
They paid up for Garrett Nussmeier at the 33rd pick when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen in Round 2, Pick 12 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick103 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. slipping to pick No. 103 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Nwankpa in No. 175. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green is a better player than pick 179 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman at slot 193 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick207 Rnd6 Nolan Rucci
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nolan Rucci. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
They did well to land De'Zhaun Stribling in slot 218, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick242 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
Ethan O'Connor at the 242nd pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
