Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 162nd pick will need to, sitting 23 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Felton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 7 they get a red-zone target to build around, reach and all.
Pick42 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
Fair-plus on T.J. Sanders, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They paid a round early for Andrew Mukuba in No. 73, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at slot 110 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 5, Pick 24 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Nice patience on Jonah Monheim, who had no business lasting to No. 186. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
A reach for R.J. Mickens in slot 207; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
