Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Jets cashed the board's mistake on Howard: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Will Howard, the No. 103 name on the board, stolen at pick 146.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Pegues reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 7th overall pick they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 103, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick109 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at No. 109 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Will Howard
Somehow Will Howard was still sitting there in slot 146, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nick Nash
A slide stopped in the 157th pick, with Nick Nash worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick 165 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick202 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in Round 6, Pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
You do not let a tight end like Luke Lachey reach the 209th pick and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They robbed the room for Jack Kiser here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
