Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueA- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets found their guy under center in Beck: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Kevin Winston Jr. slide 69 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Carson Beck is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Carson Beck
A reasonable price with a little left over, Carson Beck in the Round 1 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kelvin Banks Jr.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Kelvin Banks Jr. reach slot 42 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Emeka Egbuka
Circle this one: Emeka Egbuka at Round 3, Pick 10 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick No. 106 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138 Rnd5 Tonka Hemingway
Nothing to complain about; Tonka Hemingway went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd6 Aydan White
Somehow Aydan White was still sitting there in slot 170, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
Steal is underselling it; Mason Taylor at pick 186 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
