Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Jets checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Jets walked right past.

The Harmon steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In No. 7 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Derrick Harmon in the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
No edge and no loss on Elijah Arroyo in the 73rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tory Horton
A tidy little value on Tory Horton in Round 4, Pick 8, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Logan Brown
No drama and no debate, Logan Brown went about where he belonged in pick 145. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick162 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They read the board right and O'Donnell Fortune was the payoff at pick No. 162. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Good price on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 186th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They did well to land Jay Higgins in slot 207, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
