Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jets: B-.

The Fadil Diggs pick is the one that will follow the Jets into the fall. They took him 71 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka is a better player than pick 42 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at slot 73 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in the 110th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 7 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs at the 162nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A premium they did not need to pay, Jordan Hancock a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
