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

You could see the war room lean forward. Billy Bowman Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The cost of the Arroyo reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at the 51st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
They paid up for Ozzy Trapilo at the 73rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond slipping to pick No. 85 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 110 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick 145 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick162 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
The board fumbled Billy Bowman Jr. all the way to slot 162, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at Round 6, Pick 10 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Steal is underselling it; Chase Lundt at No. 207 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
