Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureF
The Jets worked the phones like thieves and earned a C+.

The Jets clearly saw something nobody else did in Khordae Sydnor, taking him 102 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The final tally is a middling C+.

Landing Scott that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In slot 24 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28 Rnd1 Colton Hood
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick30 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the 30th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They paid sticker price for Sonny Styles in No. 35, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick36 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller slipping to pick 36 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick38 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Anthony Hill Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick44 Rnd2 Zion Young
Zion Young at the 44th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at the 47th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at pick No. 49 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick54 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A slide stopped in No. 54, with Dillon Thieneman worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
The board had cheaper options than Lee Hunter at the Round 2 slot, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in Round 3, Pick 4 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in slot 76 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at pick 81 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zachariah Branch in the 85th overall pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Caden Curry
Caden Curry at pick No. 100 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the 101st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick102 Rnd4 Joe Royer
They did well to land Joe Royer in No. 102, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick104 Rnd4 Keionte Scott
They barely believed it either: Keionte Scott still on the board at Round 4, Pick 4. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at pick 108 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bishop Fitzgerald
Bishop Fitzgerald in slot 112 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at the 113th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick116 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
No drama and no debate, Parker Brailsford went about where he belonged in pick 116. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J.C. Davis. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Max Iheanachor
They went early on Max Iheanachor in Round 4, Pick 25, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick129 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at No. 129 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
A reach for Tanner Koziol in slot 135; a little patience would have been rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick139 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Pat Coogan well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
No edge and no loss on J'Mari Taylor in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
They jumped the gun on Terion Stewart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A clean, defensible pick in the 153rd pick with a little surplus value in Davison Igbinosun. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in pick 159 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in the 169th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Sawyer Robertson
By-the-book stuff, Sawyer Robertson at pick No. 175 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eric O'Neill. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd5 Quinten Joyner
They paid a round early for Quinten Joyner in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180 Rnd6 Red Murdock
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Red Murdock at No. 180 is the proof. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick181 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Raylen Wilson at slot 181, value and slot in agreement. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Value with a capital V on Eric McAlister in Round 6, Pick 3, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick183 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
They took Miles Kitselman at par in No. 183, which is nothing to complain about. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick189 Rnd6 Miller Moss
Fair-plus on Miller Moss, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick No. 192 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona in the 200th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 PJ Williams
PJ Williams at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Peyton Bowen. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jerry Wilson
They took Jerry Wilson at par in slot 206, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick207 Rnd6 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith at pick 207 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209 Rnd6 Dijon Johnson
A reach on Dijon Johnson in pick No. 209; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jamari Lyons
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamari Lyons this early at No. 210. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick212 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They paid sticker price for J. Michael Sturdivant in Round 7, Pick 1, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brett Norfleet in the 218th pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick220 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
A premium they did not need to pay, Shamar Easter a notch or two before his time. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick225 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
Joey Aguilar at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick228 Rnd7 Haynes King
Haynes King in Round 7, Pick 12 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 Keyon Ware-Hudson
A big swing on Keyon Ware-Hudson at slot 238, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick239 Rnd7 Demon Clowney
Value said wait; Demon Clowney in pick 239 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick241 Rnd7 Clayton Smith
They talked themselves into Clayton Smith at No. 241, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
They reached into another round for Tony Rojas, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick246 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. at the 246th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
They let Jacobe Johnson come to them and pounced at the 247th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Khordae Sydnor
They reached a country mile for Khordae Sydnor at Round 7, Pick 32, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jaquaize Pettaway
By-the-book stuff, Jaquaize Pettaway at pick 251 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
