Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jets worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Jets spent the Round 4 slot on Michael Pratt, a name the board had a full 34 spots lower. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Devin Lloyd gives the group a proven body among the projects.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 24th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Malik Washington
This one needs a full-page explanation: Malik Washington in Round 2, Pick 24, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at No. 72, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A wild overpay on Michael Pratt in pick No. 111, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Value said wait; Beau Brade in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kalen King
Kalen King in the 185th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Value with a capital V on Tyler Owens in the 256th pick, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Nothing to complain about; Michael Barrett went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
