Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Jets a B-.

The Jets looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jalin Conyers at the 207th overall pick regardless, 173 picks early. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That is a tight end worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 7 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at slot 42 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 73 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at the 145th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 157th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the 162nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A straight-up fair deal on JJ Pegues at pick No. 186, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jalin Conyers
A wild overpay on Jalin Conyers in Round 6, Pick 31, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 235th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
