Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Jets, and a B to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Garrett Nussmeier at Round 2, Pick 12 is 37 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In No. 2 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 16th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 CJ Allen
No drama and no debate, CJ Allen went about where he belonged in pick No. 33. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Nussmeier. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
