Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets let Bassa fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Jeffrey Bassa slide 62 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Every board in the league had Nash lower, and that gap is the story. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mason Graham
No edge and no loss on Mason Graham in pick 7; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick42 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A tidy little value on Harold Fannin Jr. in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
They did well to land Sebastian Castro in the 92nd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Emery Jones Jr.. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
This one needs a full-page explanation: Willie Lampkin in the 144th pick, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick155 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at pick No. 155. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
They robbed the room for Jeffrey Bassa here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at No. 206 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
