Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Jets this weekend: D-.

The Jets put a flag in the ground for Eric Gentry, 94 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick128 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
They paid sticker price for CJ Daniels in slot 128, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Brenen Thompson
They let Brenen Thompson come to them and pounced at pick No. 175. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178 Rnd5 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Patrick Payton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Patrick Payton this early at No. 192. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at pick 206 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick209 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
By-the-book stuff, Zxavian Harris at Round 6, Pick 30 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Value said wait; Eric Gentry in Round 7, Pick 2 says they were not listening. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick242 Rnd7 Dijon Johnson
They jumped the gun on Dijon Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
