Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Jets for McCord: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kyle McCord, pick No. 162, roughly 45 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Membou to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In slot 7 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 42, where Derrick Harmon graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick81 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They liked Gunnar Helm enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 81. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110 Rnd4 Savion Williams
You do not let a wide receiver like Savion Williams reach the 110th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick145 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
A safety of that caliber at the 145th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Somehow Kyle McCord was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 24, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 186 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. in the 207th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
