Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B+ for the Jets.

The Jets went off the board in a big way for Dijon Johnson, 32 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The Barham pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman and running back still on the board. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In pick No. 2 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey at No. 34 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A slide stopped in the 44th overall pick, with Anthony Hill Jr. worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Jaishawn Barham while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and running back sat open.
Pick175 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green slipping to slot 175 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd5 Dane Key
No drama and no debate, Dane Key went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192 Rnd6 Dijon Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dijon Johnson in the 192nd overall pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at slot 206 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
