Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Jets let Wright fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Jets were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A.

Landing Wright that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 44 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in pick 58 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick103 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at the 103rd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
Taking Jude Bowry in Round 5, Pick 33 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick175 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
They read the board right and Aaron Anderson was the payoff at pick No. 175. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick178 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kaleb Elarms-Orr. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
Kobe Baynes at Round 6, Pick 13 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Dae'Quan Wright in pick No. 206, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick209 Rnd6 VJ Payne
VJ Payne in the 209th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Zxavian Harris at the 218th pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242 Rnd7 Miller Moss
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Miller Moss in slot 242. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
