Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Jets for Fitzgerald: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ryan Fitzgerald got past him. The Jets do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 7 they get a load in the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Watts. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They will replay Harold Fannin Jr. at Round 3, Pick 28 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jermari Harris
They let Jermari Harris come to them and pounced at pick 109. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach the 146th pick and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick157 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Pat Bryant at the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in No. 188 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald in the 209th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
