Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Jets get a C+.

The Jets clearly saw something nobody else did in Nathan Pickering, taking him 117 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The King pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In slot 32 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
No drama and no debate, Kamren Kinchens went about where he belonged in No. 64. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Lynn Polk at Round 3, Pick 8 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
The board had cheaper options than Tommy Eichenberg at pick 132, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They reached into another round for Jordan Travis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kalen King
Circle this one: Kalen King at slot 159 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick173 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They paid a round early for Tanor Bortolini in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the 185th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 Nathan Pickering
Nathan Pickering at No. 252 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Nice patience on Josh Proctor, who had no business lasting to pick 256. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at Round 7, Pick 39 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
