Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Jets to a D-.

The tape said wait; the Jets did not. Joe Milton III went at slot 135, a good 65 picks before the board was ready. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D-.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Smith pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game. Need was not the driver here.
Pick33 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. at slot 33 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Nice patience on Kingsley Suamataia, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 1. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick72 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Good price on Xavier Worthy in pick No. 72, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 101 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick127 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A quiet steal in No. 127: Sataoa Laumea for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joe Milton III in the 135th pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in pick 185 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188 Rnd6 Myles Cole
A conviction pick on Myles Cole at No. 188 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
A tidy little value on Dominique Hampton in pick No. 240, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means slipping to the 256th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kalen DeLoach in slot 257. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
