Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Jets worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Jets clearly saw something nobody else did in Baylor Cupp, taking him 109 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

However the rest shakes out, Barton at that price is a win they earned.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick No. 72 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick 111 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Value with a capital V on Malik Mustapha in No. 147, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
A real head-scratcher, Jase McClellan in the 187th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at Round 7, Pick 9 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig at slot 255 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256 Rnd7 Baylor Cupp
Baylor Cupp at the 256th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
