Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Jets for Ransom: C+.

The Jets spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Lathan Ransom, the No. 104 name on the board, in the Round 5 slot. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Hit on Mason Graham and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mason Graham
They paid sticker price for Mason Graham in the 7th overall pick, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at Round 2, Pick 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They robbed the room for Gunnar Helm here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jermari Harris
A tidy little value on Jermari Harris in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the 109th pick, where Tez Johnson graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick144 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in pick 144, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick158 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in slot 158 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick206 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
No drama and no debate, Miles Frazier went about where he belonged in pick No. 206. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
