Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesC- FutureB-
The Jets answered their biggest question with Manning. Grade: B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Arch Manning is the Jets' quarterback, full stop.

Thomas has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. King falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Arch Manning
In the 4th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darrell Jackson Jr.. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick68 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
A premium they did not need to pay, Evan Stewart a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at No. 104 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd5 Trey Moore
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Moore. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jalon Kilgore
A reach for Jalon Kilgore in Round 5, Pick 5; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick182 Rnd6 Dasan McCullough
A clean, defensible pick in pick 182 with a little surplus value in Dasan McCullough. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Noah Thomas
Value said wait; Noah Thomas in pick No. 197 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210 Rnd6 Haynes King
Value with a capital V on Haynes King in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at slot 251 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253 Rnd7 Zen Michalski
They reached into another round for Zen Michalski, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
