Draft Grade — Jets
Overall

FutureB-
The Jets lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Elijhah Badger at pick 42 is 250 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.
Landing Dike that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at slot 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42
Rnd2
Elijhah Badger
A wild overpay on Elijhah Badger in the 42nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A conviction pick on Andrew Mukuba at the 70th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73
Rnd3
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in No. 73 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110
Rnd4
Antwane Wells Jr.
They talked themselves into Antwane Wells Jr. at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick142
Rnd5
Joshua Farmer
They robbed the room for Joshua Farmer here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145
Rnd5
Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at pick 145. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick146
Rnd5
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
This one needs a full-page explanation: KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162
Rnd5
Aidan Keanaaina
Aidan Keanaaina in the 162nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick186
Rnd6
Chimere Dike
They will replay Chimere Dike at pick No. 186 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207
Rnd6
Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold at the 207th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
