Draft Grade — Jets
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Jets: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Jets skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Gadsden II. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Value with a capital V on Derrick Harmon in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at the 73rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 110 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick145 Rnd5 Logan Brown
No edge and no loss on Logan Brown in pick 145; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash slid further than he should have, and the 162nd pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 CJ West
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on CJ West. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at slot 207 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
