Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Jets: C+.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Jets did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most.

The Royals pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In slot 7 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at Round 2, Pick 10 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elijah Arroyo. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
