Draft Grade — Jets

FutureB-
The Jets left with their quarterback, and a F to match. The Jets treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 178 on Hank Brown a full 287 spots early. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
They banked enough surplus on Carter Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
Whatever Ty Simpson becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Ty Simpson
In No. 5 they get a franchise quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Kevin Coleman Jr.
In pick No. 32 they get a difference-maker at receiver, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Matayo Uiagalelei
Matayo Uiagalelei at pick 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick44
Rnd2
Patrick Payton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Patrick Payton in Round 2, Pick 12, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick64
Rnd2
Ethan Onianwa
Ethan Onianwa in the 64th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick105
Rnd4
Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178
Rnd5
Hank Brown
Hank Brown in the 178th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192
Rnd6
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in Round 6, Pick 14 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick202
Rnd6
Dezz Ricks
Dezz Ricks at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208
Rnd6
Datrell Jones
They reached into another round for Datrell Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237
Rnd7
Terrance Carter Jr.
A tight end of that caliber at No. 237 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jerand Bradley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jerand Bradley this early at pick 253. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254
Rnd7
Shamar Porter
A big swing on Shamar Porter at slot 254, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
