Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 162nd pick: the Jets steal Strong and grade out a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dorian Strong, pick No. 162, roughly 42 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They are betting Alexander proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
By-the-book stuff, Will Campbell at the 7th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They left a pile of value on the table to take Darius Alexander this early at slot 73. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 23, where Tory Horton graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 145th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Somehow Dorian Strong was still sitting there in pick 162, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A tidy little value on JJ Pegues in pick No. 186, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A linebacker of that caliber at the 207th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick209 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Dont'e Thornton Jr. reach the 209th overall pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
