Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Jets won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

Nobody had Kedon Slovis this high, and it is not close. The Jets reached 66 spots to get him at slot 239. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The Grable steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 16 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Bo Nix
They let Bo Nix come to them and pounced at slot 45. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 111th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 35 with a little surplus value in Christian Jones. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They did well to land Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 185, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis in slot 239 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick256 Rnd7 Tylan Grable
They robbed the room for Tylan Grable here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick257 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Circle this one: Donovan Jennings at No. 257 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
