Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
The phones sank the Jets this weekend: C+.

Nobody else had Joe Milton III anywhere near pick 165. The Jets did, by 44 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Allen.

So much rides on Olumuyiwa Fashanu that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick65 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 65, where Javon Bullard graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalen McMillan in the 113th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A running back of that caliber at slot 134 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at pick 165, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick173 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at No. 173 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick176 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
No edge and no loss on Dwight McGlothern in the 176th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jackson Sirmon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jackson Sirmon in the 250th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick257 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They reached into another round for Zion Logue, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
