Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jalin Conyers in Round 7, Pick 25, a good 139 spots before the room expected him.

Grant at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 7 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Somehow Kenneth Grant was still sitting there in the 42nd pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at No. 73 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tory Horton. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
They jumped the gun on Tyler Baron, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick162 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They let O'Donnell Fortune come to them and pounced at the 162nd overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They took Isaac TeSlaa at par in slot 236, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalin Conyers
A big swing on Jalin Conyers at the 241st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
