Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets won the night they stopped Stout from sliding. Grade: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Jets skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Landing Stout that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Baron reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick No. 7 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
The board had Derrick Harmon higher than slot 42, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They paid sticker price for Mason Taylor in pick 73, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at the 110th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in the 171st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 CJ West
No edge and no loss on CJ West in Round 6, Pick 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout at pick No. 207 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at the 211th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
