Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesD FutureA+
Grand theft in slot 146: the Jets steal Milroe and grade out a B.

The Jets did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jalen Milroe fell into No. 146.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 14 they get an every-down engine for the run game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Colston Loveland in Round 2, Pick 12, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Nothing to complain about; Denzel Burke went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 109 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
They will replay Jalen Milroe at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Steal is underselling it; Joshua Farmer at slot 157 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
The board fumbled Kyren Lacy all the way to No. 165, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
They barely believed it either: Kurtis Rourke still on the board at the 188th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
You do not let a safety like Jaylen Reed reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick217 Rnd6 Karene Reid
A linebacker of that caliber at the 217th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Value with a capital V on Jake Briningstool in pick No. 257, a genuine coup. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
