Draft Grade — Jets
Overall D
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets bet the future on Jones. The board says D.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Jets reached some 419 spots for Emory Jones, and value like that does not grow back. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

Everything downstream of Emory Jones depends on Emory Jones, and the building knows it. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Emory Jones
In the 10th pick they get the arm they will build around, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick72 Rnd3 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at pick 72 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jacoby Windmon
They talked themselves into Jacoby Windmon at the 111th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jeremiah Walker
They reached into another round for Jeremiah Walker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Easton Dean
Easton Dean in slot 187 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick229 Rnd7 Derrick Davis Jr.
Derrick Davis Jr. at Round 7, Pick 9 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Deion Smith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Deion Smith. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Zach Calzada
A wild overpay on Zach Calzada in the 256th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
