gianninnn DRAFTING FOR THEJets
Draft Grade — Jets
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Jets checked most of the boxes and earned a B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Sam Leavitt, 39 picks early at the 44th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Rueben Bain Jr.
Fair-plus on Rueben Bain Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick32
Rnd1
Chris Bell
In slot 32 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick36
Rnd2
Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell in Round 2, Pick 4 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick44
Rnd2
Sam Leavitt
A real head-scratcher, Sam Leavitt in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
