Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA- FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Jets for Fortune: B+.

When a board-topper like O'Donnell Fortune slides to Round 5, Pick 18, you do not overthink it, and the Jets did not. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Alexander reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a seam-stretching tight end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Value with a capital V on Malaki Starks in pick No. 42, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 81 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the 92nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe is a better player than slot 109 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick118 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A premium they did not need to pay, Darius Alexander a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They robbed the room for Emery Jones Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at pick 157 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Nothing to complain about; Connor Colby went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
They barely believed it either: Cobee Bryant still on the board at pick 209. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
