Draft Grade — Jets
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Jets won the night they stopped Williams from sliding. Grade: A-.

The Jets spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Nohl Williams, the No. 177 name on the board, in the 209th overall pick.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The veteran additions, Josh Downs chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to Round 2, Pick 10, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the 51st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zy Alexander. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant is a better player than pick 109 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach pick No. 116 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in the 146th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick157 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They barely believed it either: Cody Simon still on the board at slot 157. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick188 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in the 188th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
They will replay Nohl Williams at pick 209 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
