Draft Grade — Jets

FutureB
Grand theft in the 44th overall pick: the Jets steal Echoles and grade out a B+. The Jets ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.
They banked enough surplus on Echoles to cover a lot of smaller sins. The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
KJ Bolden
In pick 19 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
David Stone
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick33
Rnd2
Cam Coleman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Coleman at slot 33 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick44
Rnd2
Will Echoles
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 44th pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick47
Rnd2
Trevor Lauck
They paid sticker price for Trevor Lauck in Round 2, Pick 15, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kewan Lacy
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kewan Lacy in pick No. 75. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Kelley Jones
They let Kelley Jones come to them and pounced at pick 81. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82
Rnd3
Ian Strong
Ian Strong in slot 82 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88
Rnd3
Samson Okunlola
Samson Okunlola in the 88th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Kade Pieper
A tidy little value on Kade Pieper in pick No. 92, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jayden Maiava
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Maiava at the 100th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
LJ Martin
LJ Martin in No. 103 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113
Rnd4
Greg Johnson
Greg Johnson in Round 4, Pick 13 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124
Rnd4
Ty Benefield
Ty Benefield at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick127
Rnd4
John Curry
John Curry in Round 4, Pick 27 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128
Rnd4
Mateen Ibirogba
A reach for Mateen Ibirogba in pick No. 128; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick138
Rnd4
Walker Lyons
Walker Lyons at No. 138 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick175
Rnd5
Dezz Ricks
A slide stopped in the 175th overall pick, with Dezz Ricks worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178
Rnd5
Payton Pierce
No edge and no loss on Payton Pierce in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick192
Rnd6
Jake Guarnera
Jake Guarnera at pick 192 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194
Rnd6
Niki Prongos
By-the-book stuff, Niki Prongos at the 194th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206
Rnd6
Christian Alliegro
Nothing to complain about; Christian Alliegro went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick210
Rnd6
La'khi Roland
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on La'khi Roland. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218
Rnd7
Sheridan Wilson
They did well to land Sheridan Wilson in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234
Rnd7
Addison Nichols
Addison Nichols in the 234th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240
Rnd7
Stephiylan Green
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Stephiylan Green at Round 7, Pick 24. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242
Rnd7
D'Antre Robinson
They liked D'Antre Robinson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 242. It fills a real need, too.
