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

You could see the war room lean forward. Anthony Belton at slot 162 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Alexander pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 7 they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early.
Pick53 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They took Harold Fannin Jr. at par in the 53rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They reached into another round for Darius Alexander, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Nice patience on Darien Porter, who had no business lasting to slot 84. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They robbed the room for Andrew Mukuba here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
The board fumbled Anthony Belton all the way to the 162nd pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Nick Nash
Nick Nash at pick 179 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at Round 6, Pick 10 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Lachey. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick207 Rnd6 Karene Reid
No drama and no debate, Karene Reid went about where he belonged in the 207th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
