Draft Grade — Jets
Overall C+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in the 161st overall pick: the Jets steal Castro and grade out a C+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Sebastian Castro slide 71 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

So much rides on Mason Graham that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at the 96th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick110 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Nothing to complain about; Ajani Cornelius went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at slot 145 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161 Rnd5 Sebastian Castro
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sebastian Castro in pick 161, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at No. 207 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
