Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Jets.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Jets reached some 22 spots for Emeka Egbuka, and value like that does not grow back. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at No. 7 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Johnson went about where he belonged in pick No. 42. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in the 73rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
A wild overpay on Jamaree Caldwell in Round 4, Pick 8, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They paid sticker price for O'Donnell Fortune in slot 145, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
No edge and no loss on Seth McLaughlin in the 162nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Connor Colby
They took Connor Colby at par in the 186th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
A clean, defensible pick in pick 207 with a little surplus value in Caleb Rogers. It fills a real need, too.
