Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets found their guy under center in Mendoza: B.

The Jets put a flag in the ground for Eric Gentry, 110 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Whatever Fernando Mendoza becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Green steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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
Pick3 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In No. 3 they get the face of the franchise. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 18 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chris Bell
Chris Bell in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick46 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 14 with a little surplus value in Sonny Styles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick104 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore in pick No. 104 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd5 Raylen Wilson
They talked themselves into Raylen Wilson at the 176th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick178 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson slipping to pick No. 178 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick196 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in pick 196 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key in Round 6, Pick 24 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric Gentry in the 212th overall pick, miles early. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick218 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
A wild overpay on Pat Coogan in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They reached into another round for Micah Morris, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
