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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Mitchell Evans, the 188th overall pick, roughly 34 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 42nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick92 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A slide stopped in the 92nd overall pick, with Maxwell Hairston worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in No. 146 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
A tidy bit of business in slot 148, where Dillon Gabriel graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick 157 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in pick No. 207 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick209 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Antwane Wells Jr. in pick No. 209, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick238 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
They robbed the room for Kyle Monangai here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
