Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Mendoza, and a B-, for the Jets.

The Jets spent the pick that matters most on Fernando Mendoza, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

They will need Lew to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In pick No. 2 they get the face of the franchise. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick16 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 16 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Connor Lew
Value said wait; Connor Lew in the 33rd pick says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick44 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Nothing to complain about; Elijah Sarratt went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
