Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Jets: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Jets spent the Round 3 slot on Ajani Cornelius, a name the board had a full 101 spots lower. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They paid up for Jayden Higgins at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
A wild overpay on Ajani Cornelius in the 73rd overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
A straight-up fair deal on Terrance Ferguson at No. 110, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick145 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at pick 145 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
A reach for Willie Lampkin in slot 162; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jackson Hawes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick207 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
They took R.J. Mickens at par in No. 207, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
