Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets bet the future on Manning. The board says B-.

Start where it matters. The Jets took Arch Manning to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They are betting Tuioti proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Arch Manning
In pick 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Will Echoles
In No. 16 they get a disruptive interior force, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Ahmad Hardy
No drama and no debate, Ahmad Hardy went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick44 Rnd2 Teitum Tuioti
Teitum Tuioti at slot 44 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
