Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureA-
Larceny in pick No. 249 lands the Jets a B, Marks and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Jets watched Woody Marks slide 64 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Their trades came out a wash either way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 7th pick they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in Round 3, Pick 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A clean, defensible pick in No. 92 with a little surplus value in Ozzy Trapilo. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick 118 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tory Horton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tory Horton in the 146th overall pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at slot 150 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
You do not let a quarterback like Dillon Gabriel reach pick No. 157 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick188 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing JJ Pegues in pick No. 188. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
Somehow Jason Marshall Jr. was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 16, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick249 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at No. 249 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
