CAM772 DRAFTING FOR THEJets

Draft Grade — Jets

The Jets kept it disciplined and banked a B-. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Jets took Diego Pavia at pick 44, roughly 48 spots before his name belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
They banked enough surplus on Rivers to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.
They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Rueben Bain Jr.
In No. 2 they get juice off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In slot 16 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Anthony Hill Jr. at pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick44
Rnd2
Diego Pavia
A real head-scratcher, Diego Pavia in Round 2, Pick 12 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103
Rnd4
Chandler Rivers
A cornerback of that caliber at the 103rd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175
Rnd5
Sawyer Robertson
No drama and no debate, Sawyer Robertson went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178
Rnd5
Gracen Halton
They paid sticker price for Gracen Halton in pick No. 178, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192
Rnd6
Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia slid further than he should have, and the 192nd overall pick is lovely value for the safety. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206
Rnd6
De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in Round 6, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210
Rnd6
Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at No. 210 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218
Rnd7
Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at slot 218 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick242
Rnd7
Keaten Wade
Keaten Wade in pick 242 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
