2026 NFL draft
Draft Grade — Jets
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Jets left with their quarterback, and a B- to match. The search is over. The Jets handed the keys to Ty Simpson, and the whole operation now runs on his development. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Simpson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Ty Simpson
In pick 2 they get a passer to set the clock by, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16
Rnd1
Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick33
Rnd2
Colton Hood
Fair-plus on Colton Hood, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick44
Rnd2
LT Overton
They paid sticker price for LT Overton in slot 44, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
