Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 31: the Jets steal Milum and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Wyatt Milum slide, and the Jets were the ones holding the card at Round 6, Pick 31. Highway robbery.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 7 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Somehow Matthew Golden was still sitting there in pick 42, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cam Ward
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Cam Ward in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
They robbed the room for Jahdae Barron here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Josaiah Stewart
Taking Josaiah Stewart in slot 145 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick162 Rnd5 Armand Membou
Circle this one: Armand Membou at the 162nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186 Rnd6 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to pick No. 186, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
They will replay Wyatt Milum at Round 6, Pick 31 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
