Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jets: B-.

The tape said wait; the Jets did not. Jay Higgins went at pick 157, a good 25 picks before the board was ready.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Mukuba steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan at the 7th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at pick No. 42 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm in slot 92 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 109 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They took Logan Brown at par in No. 146, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 157th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick188 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
A tidy bit of business in the 188th overall pick, where Cobee Bryant graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Carson Vinson. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
