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

The Josh Proctor pick is the one that will follow the Jets into the fall. They took him 108 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Landing Hadden that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

The Jets paired the rookies with proven help, Julian Blackmon leading the way. 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
Pick15 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In slot 15 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Nothing to complain about; Devontez Walker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 83 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick96 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 96th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A real head-scratcher, Luke McCaffrey in pick 123 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the 135th pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Josh Proctor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Josh Proctor this early at the 136th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo at pick 139 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in Round 5, Pick 10 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick154 Rnd5 Brandon Coleman
A wild overpay on Brandon Coleman in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in slot 155 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Nathaniel Watson
They reached into another round for Nathaniel Watson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick182 Rnd6 Daijahn Anthony
Value said wait; Daijahn Anthony in pick No. 182 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
A premium they did not need to pay, Joe Milton III a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand at the 207th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick212 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at No. 212 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eyabi Okie-Anoma. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
They liked Ethan Driskell enough to skip the value, taking him in the 256th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
A tidy little value on Jalen Coker in slot 257, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
