Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureA
The Jets checked most of the boxes and earned a B+.

The Jets bet big and early on Jaylen Reed, 37 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

With cornerback and edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on tight end is the choice that costs them. Getting Harvey where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in No. 42 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
No edge and no loss on Mason Taylor in the 73rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick110 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They paid up for Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 110 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Mitchell Evans at tight end with cornerback and edge rusher open.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Shough in the 145th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at No. 151 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
They paid sticker price for Ryan Fitzgerald in slot 162, and that is fine. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick186 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at pick 186 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 207th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
