Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Jets for King: A-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kalen King got past him. The Jets do not have to explain a thing at slot 147. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. The Jets clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

In the end it comes back to Marvin Harrison Jr., and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Caleb Williams
Caleb Williams in the 72nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Christian Haynes in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kalen King
Somehow Kalen King was still sitting there in pick No. 147, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 191 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox at the 229th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick255 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
They robbed the room for Marcus Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Donell Harris Jr.
A reach for Donell Harris Jr. in No. 256; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
