Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets won the night they stopped Higgins from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Jets did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jay Higgins fell into No. 209.

They will need Sanker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In pick 7 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
They paid sticker price for Tyleik Williams in Round 2, Pick 10, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 73 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
They jumped the gun on Kyle McCord, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
They paid up for Ty Robinson at slot 146 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Andres Borregales
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Andres Borregales in the Round 5 slot. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jonas Sanker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jonas Sanker well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Somehow Jay Higgins was still sitting there in the 209th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
